bhve bug report: attempting to physical DVD drive for install CD is unbootable

[Neel Natu]

Hi Aryeh,

The "-d" option was meant to specify the disk or the ISO file image so I am
not surprised that it doesn't work with /dev/cd0.

Is there any reason that you cannot use an ISO image file to boot the guest?

best
Neel
