installing guest additions on OpenSuSE 11.1 with Mac OS X

[boxabirds]

Hi all I'm trying to figure out how to install the guest additions on the Mac inside an OpenSuSE image (the bitnami premade images). This is with VirtualBox 3.1.4.

When I choose 'install guest additions' it does nothing.

I then

mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

and then choose 'install guest additions'. Then it shows a box with the following text:

Unable to mount the CD/DVD image /Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso on the machine Bitnami. Would you like to force mounting of this medium?
Could not mount the media/drive '/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso' (VERR_PDM_MEDIA_LOCKED).

The details shown are:


Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:

Interface:
IConsole {6375231a-c17c-464b-92cb-ae9e128d71c3}
Callee:
IMachine {99404f50-dd10-40d3-889b-dd2f79f1e95e}

Is OpenSuSE supported on Mac OS X? Maybe that's the problem?

thanks very much in advance!

Try shutting down the guest and then mount the GA ISO in the VirtualBox GUI. This can be done in the Storage settings.

Thanks for your quick response!

I did this and ran mount but all it showed was:

/dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw)
/proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5)

Then I noticed VBoxGuestAdditions.iso was premounted though according to the gui. However, once again 'install guest additions' does nothing at all -- selecting the menu results in no observable activity.
