So, as I could figure out, it is possible to add a controller with screen reader, but only when using object navigation in NVDA. I will file a bug about that in a bug tracker and send a link. But here is what else I figured out. After adding the IDE controller again and inserting an arch live-cd into it, the system still doesn't want to load from a live-cd even if the an optical drive is selected as the first. I use virtualbox version 6.1.28, maybe it's fixed in 6.1.30... Is there any workaround to solve issue with system not recognizing the disk other than creating a new machine each time when I need to load from a live-cd? I am sorry for so lots of messages about one topic, that's because I would like to understand better how virtualbox works and help encountering bugs as possible. Thank you. -- Best regards, Vsevolod https://github.com/sevapopov2

Yesterday when experimenting with different storage settings, I removed an IDE controller. Now I cannot find it in the storage settings to add it back. I tried to create a new machine and insert the iso file as a sata virtual harddrive, but it didn't work. Maybe, I will try to insert the IDE controller back with the help of sited person. If that works, I will post an issue to the bug tracker about the problem with adding the controllers with screenreaders.

I checked using the command line option you provided and yes, the dvd is set first. But after I insert an image into a virtual drive, it doesn't load, the boot manager is displayed instead, and when I press enter the installed system loads. Should be a dvd controller an IDE disk controller? If yes, then I made a mistake that I removed it from a machine and try to use a virtual disk that's set like sata.

Yes, it is. vboxmanage modifyvm vmname --boot1 dvd --boot2 disk where vmname is the UUID or name of your guest. You can verify the boot order was in fact changed with: vboxmanage showvminfo vmname |more and looking for: "Boot Device 1: DVD Boot Device 2: HardDisk" in the output. _______________________________________________ VBox-users-community mailing list VBox-users-community@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe: mailto:vbox-users-community-requ...@lists.sourceforge.net?subject=unsubscribe
