Generally, what I've had to do is run qemu-kvm from the command line
with "-monitor stdio". When you need to change cd's, in the qemu
monitor console you do:
eject cdrom
change cdrom /path/to/iso/image.iso
It would be nice if there were some way to do this from virsh or the
virt-manager GUI, but I don't think there is as of yet. Maybe open a BZ
for it if you're feeling daring.
When I do this, I usually disable networking since libvirt isn't
setting it up anyway (-net none). Once the image is installed, you can
boot it as usual via virt-manager or virsh with networking enabled.
