I have inserted MX-21_beta2_x64.iso as DVD drive to the same and only one SCSI controller in this VM.
In boot order, boot from DVD is set as first entry.
When I start it boots from DVD, however, when I select the first GRUB entry to boot into, it fails to find boot device
with error that no block device found and then I can't proceed with installation.

This VM is currently running MX Linux 19.4 which I installed same way as mentioned above.
Please let me know if any more data is needed.

Please help on how I can proceed installing, what is missing here.

Thanks.

Please do not post outside the beta topics when dealing with betas, or it will become very messy with them all about. Beta topics were created for a reason, please use them.

I am going to close this one so you can repost there.
