There are at least two reasons:
1)If I would like to upgrade the version of an existing installation (if I'm using a redhat distro), I need to boot from cd and choose to upgrade an existing installation.
2)If I want to test some live distro, I need to boot from cd.
Thanks,

You can't boot a PV guest from CD, I'm afraid :-(
What are you trying to do? For installing the guest there are various tools
(virt-manager / virt-install, rpmstrap, debootstrap and others) that can help
you create a guest filesystem without needing a boot CD.
Cheers,
Mark
