Your urpmi config is in /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg. The command for adding new media would be urpmi --addmedia followed by the path to the new medium. I'm not sure what the correct path would be for adding a CD, I've only used it to add ftp mirrors.

Try urpmi.addmedia --distrib xxx. Read urpmi.addmedia --help.

Oh yeah, the path would be to the first cd. Maybe to the location of the hdlists, i've never had to use that command before.
