Title:
  Havana: boot from ISO not working

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I have a problem booting an instance from an ISO image. This works
  well in our folsom cloud, but its not working on out havana cloud. I
  have an ISO image uploaded and try to create an instance from it.
  Images are store on an rbd volume. the instance hangs with

  Boot failed: could not read the boot disk

  I traced the problem down to the content of the libvirt.xml file. The
  problem seems to be the following config setting:

  <disk type="network" device="disk">

  If I create an instance from the same libvirt.xml file and just change
  the "disk" to "cdrom" the instance is booting.
