It's most likely the same issue as the one we have with the vdisk block
devices when installing inside a SPARC LDOM [1].
Can you post the output of "udevadm info -q env -p /sys/block/vda" if
/dev/vda is the virtual block device for your CD-ROM drive? If it
doesn't include any indication of a CD device, you know why d-i doesn't
detect the CD drive.
