bootcdx86 was superceeded by the -live images. I'd suggest using the
qemux86 or atom-pc machines and building a -live image, dd that to a usb
stick and boot that on the laptop. An iso format image is also generated
that can be placed onto a CD.

We need to remove the bootcdx86 references as they're out of date.
