I wonder why you need to burn a real CD (or DVD ?) for a virtual machine.
Virtualization can work with the .iso file directly and make it appear
in the guest as CD-ROM drive with medium.
Dummy me overlooked the screen icon that said install to hard disk. That
fixed the boot problem.
This explains a lot.
Now if I can figure out which hard drive I am
installed in I will be a happy camper.
This is probably not a qemu/kvm question but one of libvirt.
Have a nice day :)

I want to thank all for your help. I just trashed the whole mess. I only
need a couple of the packages and FreeCAD needs to updated to 0.19. I'm
just going back to installing the packages individually. I will say that
CAELinux would be perfect for someone just starting out. It saves one
from having to find a bunch of libraries. Once installed it is a highly
usable system. My experience has a lot to do with a too complicated
installation.
Thanks again
