Ok, a little closer now.  I put this in xml file and redefine domain and 
it now defines:

<source file=/dev/sr0"/>
This was device that mount showed as mounting the DVD.

But when the domain boots and I select 3. CDROM from screen, it still shows the original boot error:
Boot Failure Code:  0003
Boot from CDROM failed:  cannot read the boot disk.
FATAL: No bootable device. 

What should I change?
