Hi Martin,

You need to be a little more explicit about what you are trying to do here.

Are you trying to point the CDROM drive to KVM and have it controlled by
Windows, or are you trying to point it to an ISO image?

You ought to be able to just say -cdrom /dev/sr<X> if you want KVM to
see the CDROM drive, or -cdrom /path/to/iso/image if you want it to read
the ISO.
