cdrom='/opt/iso/winxp/winxp_sp2.iso' is deprecated. It now becomes something like

disk = [ 'file:/opt/xvms/windisk.img,ioemu:hda,w', 
'file:/opt/iso/winxp/winxp_sp2.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r']

Where is this user manual? I've looked all over the xensource site and I can't find it. I might not be the smartest cookie in the jar, but it shouldn't be that hard to find. What does 'You'll have to move the cdrom line to the disk array in your config file.' actually mean?

It is documented in the user manual.
