It's most likely the same issue as the one we have with the vdisk block devices when installing inside a SPARC LDOM [1]. Can you post the output of "udevadm info -q env -p /sys/block/vda" if /dev/vda is the virtual block device for your CD-ROM drive? If it doesn't include any indication of a CD device, you know why d-i doesn't detect the CD drive. Adrian > [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2017/03/msg00050.html -- .''`.
