if the template's boot order has hard-disk it should be ok,
not sure why it seems for this vm the boot order is only cd.
does this happen to any vm created from this template?
can you check the boot order is corrent in the edit vm dialog?

if the boot order is ok in the template,
and it happens to any new vm from this template,
you should open a bug so we could investigate this.
