2. Set the boot order of the new CD-ROM to take precedence over that of the original CD-ROM.
3. (Optional.) Add a new hard disk as the boot disk of the VM.

add the CD-ROM that contains the new operating system image file to the VM.
For more information about boot order configuration, see "set bootorder vm." To view the disk boot
order, use the
display vmdisklist command.
