Changing mounted CD images during Xen install.
Another also coming soon,
I have just for now cut and pasted the steps I took to change over iso cd images while installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 in a Xen virtual machine.

websvr01:~ # xm list
Name                                      ID   Mem VCPUs      State   Time(s)
Domain-0                                   0  2742     4     r-----   1660.4
lindev01                                  10   256     4     -b----    735.7
windns01                                       256     2               156.9


websvr01:~ # xm block-list 10
Vdev  BE handle state evt-ch ring-ref BE-path
768    0    0     1      -1     -1    /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/10/768
832    0    0     1      -1     -1    /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/10/832
5632    0    0     1      -1     -1    /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/10/5632


websvr01:~ # xm block-detach 10 5632 -f


websvr01:~ # xm block-attach 10 file:/data/disk_images/Enterprise-R5-U1-Server-x86_64-disc3.iso hdc:cdrom r


Then from Xen Virtual Machine Console I pressed CTRL + ALT + 2
Which brings up a HVMXen command line.
At (HVMXen) prompt

(HVMXen)commit

then

(HVMXen)info block
(to see that new iso file was mounted.

Then press CTRL + ALT + 1 to return to Red Hat Linux installer.
