Trying this with rawhide, the initial install step works -- it does not 
immediately eject the CD-ROM.

The installation does stop the guest and not restart it, however, so you 
have to manually restart it (and, as we want, the install still has the 
CD mounted).

Should we consider the need to toggle the VM power state in virt-manager 
to complete the installation a bug or is that something it did before?  
I'd be glad
to write this up if it is (installing against Win 2008 Server)
