I will come back to that later, but for now, here are the raw commands:

# mkdir /home/iso
# cd /home/iso
# wget http://cdimage.debian.org/wheezy.iso

# xe sr-create type=iso content-type=iso shared=false \
  name-label=ISOLOCAL \
  device-config:location=/home/iso \
  device-config:legacy_mode=true

# xe cd-list
uuid ( RO)          : blah-blah-blah
    name-label ( RW): debian-wheezy-DI-rc1-amd64-CD-1.iso

# xe vm-install template=Debian\ Wheezy\ 7.0\ \(64-bit\)  \
     new-name-label=some-server

# xe vm-param-set HVM-boot-policy="BIOS order" uuid=MY_UUID

# xe vm-cd-add cd-name=debian-wheezy-DI-rc1-amd64-CD-1.iso \
              device=1 vm=MY_UUID

# xe vm-start uuid=MY_UUID

I will add that on the other bug report
