If you don't want the installation medium to be ejected, you can e.g. in virtualbox go in the General→Advanced tab, and untick “Removable Media: Remember Runtime Changes” There’s also cdrom-detect/eject which you can set to “false”. I don't think this is a behaviour we are going to change, so tagging wontfix, at least for now. Mraw, KiBi.
