Restart KVM guest booting from ISO or CD

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • virt-install --cdrom allows you to install the OS from CD, ISO, or URL. Is there a way to boot from an ISO or CD after installation?
  • During start up, if you're quick enough you can press F12 and get the boot menu, but can you change the default boot device?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux
  • KVM guest
