1. In "Boot Options", ensure the DVD is listed first (or select
   "Enable boot menu" and then you can pick the boot device when
   starting the VM).

2. To tell live-boot to use the SquashFS from the DVD, add this boot
   option:

     live-media=/dev/sr0

   This works for a "SCSI CDROM" device. If the virtual DVD reader is
   plugged into the SATA bus instead, the /dev/sr0 path might need to
   be adjusted.
