I added LZMA file format compression as a new feature request to 7-zip. I have
a sourceforge account.
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2879700&group_id=14481&atid=364481
you can check the status of the request some months(?) later or check the web
site later to see if the .LZMA file format is no longer just a uncompression
file format. (http://7-zip.org)

For Linux, it's probably easiest to download qemu or vmware and run a
standard linux distro (eg, fedora/ubuntu) in a vm.

The lzma compression is done by the linux tool "lzma" - I don't think
7-zip will work.

SeaBIOS should be able to provide cdrom access directly.
