Not directly from CD, you have to install from network.  That also
avoids switching CDs btw ;)

Just copy the iso images to some machine on the network (could also be
the xen host machine), loop-mount them at some place, in subdirectories
named "CD1" "CD2", ...  and export this tree via http or ftp.

Then pass the URL of the CD1 directory to the yast2 xen installer module
as installation source.

cheers,
