See below output:

  Press F12 for boot menu.

  Booting from CD-Rom...
  4615MB medium detected
  CDROM boot failure code : 0004
  Boot failed: could not read the boot disk

  FATAL: No bootable device.

I tried above command with below combinations, but same result.

  -cdrom /dev/scd0
  -cdrom /root/scd0.iso (Created using "dd bs=2048 ..." command.)
  -cdrom /home/windows/windows-server-2003-standard-x86-64-sp2.iso

Any ideas? What does "could not read the boot disk" mean exactly?
