Thread-topic: No cdrom in an running w2k3-r2sp2 running on xen 3.1

Hi there lists,

This question makes me feel kinda stupid: I expect the solution to be simple... but I cannot seem to be able to find an awnser.

I've finally managed to have a cdrom player in my virtual w2k3 system with the following entry in my configuratio file:

disk = [ "file:/var/lib/xen/images/xen_w2k3r2_template.img,hda,w","phy:hda,hdc:cdrom,r" ]

but it stays empty in the virtual machine allthough the real cdrom player does in fact contains a cdrom.
When I change the config to something like:

disk = [ "file:/var/lib/xen/images/xen_w2k3r2_template.img,hda,w","file:/somewhere/blah,iso,hdc:cdrom,r" ]

I do get a cdrom player with an inserted.

Do I have to connect the virtual cdrom to /dev/hda?

Anyway.... any help (even an rtfm (with reference to the m ;) )) would be apreciated.

Peter

PS
My complete config:

name = "xen_w2kr_r2sp2_template"
uuid = "7145554f-d6af-9e1a-9436-e43b51de1416"
maxmem = 2048

vcpus = 4
builder = "hvm"
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
boot = "c"
pae = 1
acpi = 1
apic = 1

sdl = 0
vnc = 1
vncunused = 1
keymap = "en-us"
disk = [ "file:/var/lib/xen/images/xen_w2k3r2_template.img,hda,w","phy:hda,hdc:cdrom,r" ]
vif = [ "mac=00:16:3e:01:8e:30,bridge=xenbr0,type=ioemu" ]
