Xen users - Mar 2008 - 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
