Well ,I have got it up and running on a stable of 26 June, managed to
set up a vdi, no problem, but it will not see the cd drive.
It (vbox) says the cd drive is always secondary master, but I only have
one ata channel so it is primary master. The dropdown list just does
not drop down.
Is there a workaround for this, or have I missed something stupid?
