FWIW, I haven't gotten around to checking rawhide for this -- trying to 
get a Cobbler release out -- expect something Friday or early next week.

I see we can create virtual floppies and such via libvirt so I have 
pretty much all I need for scripting Windows installs provided we have a 
way to not get the CD ejected 5 seconds into the install :)

(The merits of scripting Windows installs are still TBD, seeing how 
little you can actually script in them)

This is different from the F-9 bug where it ejects halfway through the 
install, this is very early on (this was using 2008 and Vista -- perhaps 
it might not happen with older installers).
