This used to work, and now it fails while trying to attach the ISO image.
Is there a workaround?
Did you check the docs? --dvd is deprecated in VirtualBox 3.1.0 and thus
no longer shows up in the docs (it only intended for backwards
compatibility with VMs configs which existed before).
Also, VMs are now created completely without any storage controllers or
drives attached by default.
See VBoxManage storagectl and VBoxManage storageattach.
# create a VM
VBoxManage createvm --name sunny --ostype Solaris -register
# create a disk and attach it
HDD=/Users/sisred-pub/VirtualBox/Disks/sunny.vdi
VBoxManage createhd -filename $HDD -size 6000 -register
VBoxManage modifyvm sunny --hda $HDD
# attach the Solaris ISO and boot it
VBoxManage modifyvm sunny --boot1 disk --boot2 dvd
# THE NEXT LINE FAILS
VBoxManage modifyvm sunny --dvd
/Users/sisred-pub/VirtualBox/ISOs/osol-0906-x86.iso
VBoxManage startvm sunny
The error I get is:
VBoxManage modifyvm sunny --dvd
/Users/sisred-pub/VirtualBox/ISOs/sol-10-u8-ga-x86-dvd.iso

If you read the above, then the error message should be rather clear.

Thanks in advance for any help.
