So I tried your suggestion. I changed the disk line to
disk = [ 'file:/var/images/winxp.img,hda,w', 'phy:/dev/cdrom,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
and set
boot="dc"

I put a bootable Knoppix CD in the CD-drive (which I know works on real 
hardware).
After xm create, I get a vnc console that now shows a QEMU Harddisk and a QEMU 
CD/DVD rom (ata0 master and ata1 master respectively, the slaves are reported 
as Unknown device).

Then the CD spins up, but nothing else happens. The cd just slows down again 
after a moment.

This same thing happens when I only have the CDROM device, and no disk image: 
CDROM drive is recognised, CD spins up, but nothing else.

Regards,

Geert
