I tried to do that. Since it's full virt does an actual CD need to be
inserted in the box? I tried adding a virtual CDROM using the ISO, but
it will not boot off of it. 

On the screen I have
ata0 master is the qemu hard disk.
ata0 slave is Unknown device.

I installed a xen PV kernel on the live server before grabbing it.
