Myself and my co-worker voted for it ;-)

We ended up running this command:
xe vm-cd-remove uuid=<VM-UUID> cd-name=xs-tools.iso

You have to have something in the drive before it can be removed.
After that the NS appliance boots right up.

Hi, Dave.  CloudStack will always create a virtual CD/DVD drive for VMs.
 This is a known limitation.  I've filed an enhancement request for this
here:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-4197

As a workaround, if possible try XenServer 6.0.2 since the NetScaler appliance 
seems to work on it even with a CD drive.

Best regards,
Kirk
