Virtual Media CD/DVD Operating System
vMedia CD/DVD operating systems information is listed as follows:
• Currently, EFI console only supports El Torito bootable CD format media.
• Windows Server 2003:
The virtual CD/DVD displays automatically after Windows has recognized the mounting
of the USB device. Use it as you would a locally attached CD/DVD device.
• Linux:
On servers with a locally attached IDE CD/DVD, the virtual CD/DVD device is accessible
