For those using 12.04 beta1 on Hyper-V, a workaround to the CD-ROM bug above (until beta 2 comes out) is to boot the initial installer with an additional kernel flag to not switch to using the Hyper-V IDE drivers. The boot flags can be viewed by pressing F5? F6? (one of those) on the setup boot screen and then navigating to the boot line with cursor keys and adding the boot parameter below before the double dash at the end of the line.
The flag to disable the Hyper-V IDE drivers is: ata_piix.prefer_ms_hyperv=0 The CD-ROM install then proceeds as usual.
