Thread-topic: Configuration file w/virt-install

It appears the configuration file is not created through virt-install. Does anyone have a sample config file that exposes the CDROM drive to the domain? Once I have the configuration file, do I start the domain? xm create -c "config.file" or with some other method?

[root@localhost /]# virt-install

I need the CDROM to install the associated applications in the RHEL3 domain.
Any pointers on the CDROM and other devices we may need would be greatly appreciated!
