Hi there,

with the kind help of Chris Wolfe here and the helpful bunch at
LinuxQuestions.org I finally got VirtualBox OSE 1.3.3 compiled and was able
to start the GUI and create a new virtual bootdisk. So far so good.

Now I would like to install the guest system, Windows Media Center Edition,
from CD. However, VirtualBox doesn't "see" the CD-ROM.

I have checked everything as suggested in the user manual chapter
9.4.2 "Linux host's CD/DVD drive not found".

I have (without success) tried/checked this:

- My user is a member of group cdrom
- The device is group mountable, defined in /etc/fstab like so:

   /dev/cdrom       /mnt/cdrom       auto        noauto,users,ro  0   0

- export VBOX_CDROM='/dev/hdc:/dev/cdrom:/dev/cdrom0', because my CD-ROM
drive is /dev/hdc and the other device names just symlink to it.
- I checked /etc/mtab, and when a CD was mounted there was a proper entry
for it

But nothing helped. What's wrong or missing here?

Thanks in advance!

  Alex Baer
