I'm using full virtualization, but I still believe your idea is a good one.

I have been reading up on xm in the man page, but now I'll turn my
attention specifically to block detach.

Thanks for the welcome!

BTW, pointing the drive at the DVD ISO didn't work either. For some
reason that has not yet been determined, it couldn't use it...got an
error, so wouldn't boot from the dvd iso.

I'm thinking about burning it to a physical disk and pointing it at the
physical cdrom drive.

I'll keep posting what's happening, kinda frustrating, but interesting
all at the same time.
