I usually use 'xm block-configure domID file:/path/to/iso hdc:cdrom r'.
Often, it doesn't work the first time, but usually by doing it a second
time, and adding a second / after file:/, it works, sometimes with a
mysterious delay of several seconds. Its also worked for me by starting
with 2 /'s and on the second time deleting one. It almost never works
if I don't add or remove a /.
Now, there have been one or two occasions where I've had to take
additional steps. I don't think ejecting it from within Windows has
ever helped me.
I know that this isn't ideal, but the alternative is to enable the qemu
console, which its inherent security implications.
