Rich, When I configure KVM (on RHEL 6) I usually set up an ISO file for the CD. If you have the Virtual Machine Manager set up, it's elementary to point to the ISO file from the Console | Details view. Otherwise, I think there's a virsh command that points a VM to an ISO file, don't remember what it is off hand. (I've had trouble in the past with my older Dell laptop w/r/t detecting inserted CDs.)
