My Linux won't properly finish booting, so RH tech support is asking me to boot from Disk #1 of the original installation and tun sysreport. How do I boot RHED5 from CD with Fusion? Thanks.

Select Virtual machine -> Settings -> CD/DVD -> Change the settings "Connected", and select "Specify physical CD/DVD drive"


In the drop Menu select "cdrom0" or "CD/Drive name", Click on Apply and OK, power on the VM,

If the VM not booting from the CD, restart the VM, as soon as VMware logo appears, Press the "Esc" Button (Only Once)

Select CD-ROM and press Enter
