Ok this fixed the problem that installing from a virtual optical drive
failed during the package-installation.
A new problem, though, is that when choosing the 'minimal initrd image',
the system comes up and boots up to the point where it says 'Begin:
Waiting for root file system ... '. At that point it keeps waiting
forever.
