  • Thread-topic: empty CDROM

Is there a way I can configure a DomU with an empty CDROM? Using
/dev/null or just leaving it blank doesn't seem to work. The best I can
come up with is an empty iso (mkisofs with an empty directory) and use
that by default until I block-reconfigure a real image into its place.
Leaving the cdrom off altogether and using block-attach doesn't work as
Windows doesn't pick it up. It used to work with GPLPV but I don't
install a PV driver for the CDROM anymore so that eject etc works on a
real CDROM drive.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

James
