Yeah, it changed back in August, see:

  http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2006-08/msg00369.html

or if you cannot view the archives: "Cdrom drives are now configured like 
disks by adding a :cdrom suffix to the target device 
(i.e.'file:/root/mytest.iso,hdc:cdrom,r').  Thereis no default cdrom drive 
any longer, to create an empty cdrom drive, use ',hdc:cdrom,r'.  Any of the 
4 ide devices can be cdrom drives now."
cheers,
