Booting a domu from "CD" should be easy. I do it all the time but I use iso 
files instead. Basically, just edit your config file for the specific domu to 
include the /dev/cdrom (in the case of a physical drive) or the iso location 
and change the boot order. These vary depending on if you use libvirt, 
xen-tools, or other on exactly how you edit it though.
