Thanks for the reply. When creating the VM, I choose the option boot from CD/DVD, and the iso is visible as CD/DVD. When I reboot the first time, the newly partitioned hard drive is detected (and 55AA is not found). When this happens, I force shutdown the VM, modify it to add the CD/DVD, and it is detected as so, and boots (then encounters the installer files not found issue)
As for qemu, I am *not* running a command at all. Is there a way to see what command is being run "behind" virtual machine. Perhaps I did not get your question. As for virt-manager, the reason I am using it is Debian Buster supports it (I think I read this on the wiki), and not VirtualBox.
