A new block device, such as /dev/xvdb, is added to the virtual machine.
9 If the virtual machine is running Linux, complete the following:
9a Open a terminal in the virtual machine and enter fdisk -l to verify that
the device was properly added. You can also enter ls /sys/block to
see all disks available to the virtual machine.
The CD is recognized by the virtual machine as a virtual disk with a drive
designation, for example,
/dev/xvdb
9b Enter the command to mount the CD or ISO image using its drive designation.
For example,
mount -o ro /dev/xvdb /cd1
mounts the CD to a mount point named /cd1.
The CD or ISO image file should be available to the virtual machine at the
specified mount point.
Verify that the virtual CD reader appears in its My Computer section
