I'll reply to the rest later, but let me address the stumbling block
now...

That command is being issued by the SCSI CD-ROM driver (ATAPI is
basically just a thinly disguised version of SCSI).  It just wants to
make sure the drive is spinning the disc.  bochs can just ignore that.
You'll probably next trip on a "lock unit" or something like that: the
driver telling the drive not to let you eject the disc.  Again, bochs
can just ignore it.

Regarding the EIP values: yes, it looked reasonable; now, can you
twiddle the log format so that every line includes the corresponding EIP
(hopefully in a constant column, like the timestamp, for ease of
scanning)?

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
