It is possible to install it from multiple iso images.
But it is not possible to change physical CDROM by this method. 
The function to change media by the xm command(xm block-configure) 
seems not to have been supported yet. 

I installed it as follows.

(1) To change the install-medium, I pressed CTRL+ALT+2.
   It changes into qemu-dm console.

(2) To eject CD-ROM, I executed the following commands on Dom0 kernel.
     Dom0> eject /dev/cdrom
   I replaced the CD-ROM medium.

(3) To recognize the change of CD-ROM,
     I executed the following commands on Qemu.
     Qemu> change hdc /disc2.iso

  It was confirmed as follows that CD-ROM had been recognized.
     Qemu> info block
  hdc : type=cdrom removable=1 locked=0 file=/disc2.iso ro=1 drv=raw

(4) I pressed CTRL+ALT+1 to return to the Linux-installation.

(5) To continue Linux-installtion, I pressed OK button.

Thanks
