[Launchpad Bug Tracker <914484@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Vish Ishaya (vishvananda) has assigned this bug to you for OpenStack Compute (nova):

Boot from ISO is slightly different by default in Xen vs KVM

In Xen ISO is attached as a separate drive and set to boot (i.e. root hard drive still exists)
In KVM the ISO image replaces the root drive

In discussions on irc we decided that we should allow both based on
image metadata. Example: metadata like 'separate_attach', if set to True
will attach the disk separately and still allow a root drive.

We will need some sort of flag to set maximum size of separate attached
drive.  If the metadata is not set, the ISO will replace the root drive.
