Help finishing the installation process?

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

Hello guys, a newbie here. I’m trying to install openSUSE on virtual box to see what is like but I have a small doubt in the last part: when the installation process is ending (approaching 100%) it says the system is rebooting. Effectively it does reboot but the DVD is not ejected, so, since I have my CD/DVD drive with booting priority in the BIOS, the menu for installation shows again (boot from hard drive, installation, etc…). I’m not very sure what option to choose: should it be ‘Boot from the Hard Drive’ or ‘Installation’?,

It may sound a little dumb but you know how is the first time, you don’t want to ruin your installation :slight_smile: I would deeply apreciate any help you guys could provide.

“Boot from the hard drive” is the correct option. You could also eject the DVD
from the VM.

Yes, and they made it the default option that will be used after 8 secs or so. Thus it works best if you go for a coffee or so lol!

Just do nothing which effectively boots from the hard disk. Ie, remove
the DVD is faster.
