Hello everyone, I could figure out that there is the workaround from the situation when the iso image cannot be used by virtual machine as for live-cd loading.
For fixing the issue in my arch install, I had to create a new virtual machine and use already existing virtual disk for guest machine. Only after creating a new virtual machine I could load from an arch live-cd and fix the boot loader in guest and complete the installation of all needed packages I haven't installed before. I have checked, the same thing applies to all virtual machines I have. Debian 11, Debian 9 etc. After the system is installed and booted for the first time, virtualbox stops loading the iso image even if the optical drive is set first in settings/system. The only solution to use a live-cd for some needs is to create a new virtual machine but use the same drive as for installed system. Only in that case the work with the installed guest from a live-cd is possible. Should I file a bug report about that or there's something I cannot get? Thank you! -- Best regards, Vsevolod <https://github.com/sevapopov2> https://github.com/sevapopov2 From: Vsevolod Popov <sevapopo...@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, November 26, 2021 2:38 PM To: 'Community mailing list of VirtualBox users' <vbox-users-community@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: RE: Can't change the boot order in the virtual machine Addition: I wrote a typo. The iso image is inserted into the IDE controler, but it seems like it is not mounted after the installation anymore. I can tell that when pressing f12 key to open the boot menu while loading the guest, there is no cdrom available, only a boot loader and an option to load from firmware something. -- Best regards, Vsevolod https://github.com/sevapopov2 From: Vsevolod Popov <sevapopo...@gmail.com <mailto:sevapopo...@gmail.com> > Sent: Friday, November 26, 2021 2:11 PM To: 'Community mailing list of VirtualBox users' <vbox-users-community@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:vbox-users-community@lists.sourceforge.net> > Subject: Can't change the boot order in the virtual machine Hello everyone, I try to install arch linux on a virtual machine. After installing I have the issue and to fix it I have to load from cd again. Here's what I do: 1. Go to settings/system 2. Navigate to the list with storage devices. 3. Find the optical drive with up and down arrows and press ctrl+up arrow to move it up. 4. Press ok button. After loading the system, it starts from a hard drive again. However, the hard drive is inserted in the storage settings. What can I do? I use NVDA 2021.2 screen reader, virtualbox 6.1.28, windows 11 64 bit. I don't want to reinstall the whole system because I feel that the fix for the problem is really easy. I just have to load from an ISO image first. Thanks for any help! --
