Just a quick note because it took me a while to figure it out.

If you have a Virtualbox VM running headless and would like to attach the host DVD drive without having to boot into the Virtualbox GUI, use VBoxManage:

VBoxManage storageattach "VM-Name" --storagectl "IDE Controller" --port 1 --device 0 --type dvddrive --medium Host:/dev/cdrom

Port 1, device 0 ist secondary master. If you configured the DVD drive of the VM to be secondary slave, you’d have to use port 0, device 1.
