Just modify the config file "boot='dc'" (to boot from CDROM) and then
add "disk=[...., '<cdrom-location>,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,w']")

If you use the physical location of the CDROM (such as
"phy:/dev/cdrom"), you can just remove the CDROM from the drive when the
Windows VM reboots. If you use a ISO-image then you'd need to change the
"boot=" line to not have "d" first.
