Burning a data DVD from Virtual Box
I wanted to upgrade from OpenSolaris 2008.05 running in VirtualBox to the latest OpenSolaris development build. After downloading the iso image , I wanted to burn it on a DVD. Since I am running the 2008.05 release, many of the applications, such as cdrw , have to be downloaded from the repository. I used the Package Manager (the GUI for the Image Packaging System) to download the SUNWcdrw package. The Package Manager can be started via System->Administration->Package Manager. Or, at the command line, type:
$ packagemanager &
However I got this error when using cdrw.
And this was because I had not set the correct setting for the CD/DVD before starting Virtual Box.
To get VirtualBox to recognize your CD/DVD, do the following:
Before starting VirtualBox, goto Settings->CD/DVD-ROM->MountCD/DVD Drive(Enable Passthrough is checked)->Click OK.
Now when I start VirtualBox, it has no problem detecting the CD-DVD drive.
