I suggest you use virt-rescue. It's a lot easier than messing around with boot CD configuration. http://libguestfs.org/virt-rescue.1.html virt-rescue contains some common partitioning tools already, and you can attach a second disk containing any other (Linux) tools you need. > I have changed the boot options to allow for boot from CD but > still no luck.

It would be a huge security hole for us to allow any user to just switch over to the monitor and start typing any monitor commands.
