This guest should need about 512 MB of memory, and you may want to use the
audio device. Also, 8 MB is not enough video RAM, and 3D acceleration is sup-
ported with the Guest Additions.

Storage configuration requires a few commands to complete. First you must
create the IDE controller and the boot disk image, and attach them together. Then
you must register and attach the CD-ROM image of the boot media. Finally, the
BIOS boot order must be set to boot from CD-ROM before the disk. Note that
because the image file name is specified as a relative path name, it is relative to
the VirtualBox settings, not your current working directory.
