Explanation
The error shown (typically a 'No bootable device found' or blank boot screen) occurs when the VM has no installation media to boot from. When creating a VM for a fresh OS installation, the ISO image must be attached (mounted) as a CD-ROM/virtual optical drive so the VM can boot into the installer. If the ISO is not mounted, the VM finds no bootable device and displays this error. Incorrect disk type (B) or boot order (C) can cause similar symptoms, but the most common and likely cause for a brand-new VM is simply forgetting to attach the installation ISO. The VirtIO driver ISO (D) is needed after the OS installer loads, not at initial boot.
