Same thing:

dom0:~# grep cdrom /etc/xen/domu.cfg
            'phy:/dev/hda,xvdb:cdrom,w']

domu:~# mknod /dev/xvdb b 202 32
domu:~# mount -t iso9660 /dev/vxdb /
domu: special device /dev/vxdb does not exist
domu:~# ls /sys/block
ram0  ram1  ram10  ram11  ram12  ram13  ram14  ram15  ram2  ram3
ram4    ram5  ram6  ram7  ram8  ram9  sda1  sda2  sda3


Cheers,

Jan
