Yes, it is clear how to do at boot time. I'd like to be able to change
it AFTER the guest is up and running.
By the way, for Windows guest I'm using AHCI, not virtio (per the
instructions):
... -s 4,ahci-cd,$CD ...
I don't see any device created (I'm not sure what's the possible name though).
Thanks,
Sergey
