You might want to give qemu a spin, as it does full virtualization like
vmware, not para-virtualization like Xen. It is very easy to pass an ISO
file to qemu to boot from.
That said, I am unclear if an ISO file can be passed as a bootable ro
VBD to a Xen DomU like you want, but if it is possible I'd love to see a
working example.
