Installing VirtualBox on an iSCSI target machine.

Post by hyphenpipe »

My thought is that I am SOL but I guess I'll ask anyway.

I currently boot my machine from an iSCSI target. For those unfamiliar with iSCSI think of as a form of ethernet booting.

Well, when installing VirtualBox it needs to disable the LAN and as such I lose my connection to my system drive and cannot complete the installation as it results in a fatal error.

Has anyone come up with a workaround?

What about copying everything you need locally until its done installing? maybe a temporary usb drive/stick.
