This reminds me of a similar bug we fixed in the kernel on sparc64 which turned out to be two missing functions in the kernel for the vio driver on sparc64 [1][2]. So it's probably a good idea to verify first that the virtio block device driver behaves correctly in that sense and creates the proper mod aliases. Then debian-installer should be able to detect the CD-ROM block device automatically.
