And I'm wondering what's this is about.

There is a file on your virtual machine's filesystem called "/etc/apt/sources.list" which tells APT where to look for packages. If you installed from one of the larger ISOs (i.e. not "netinst"), this file will include entries for CDs, which start like this:

deb cdrom:

Hopefully you should also have some lines which look something like

deb http://some-name-or-other.debian.org/debian jessie main

Comment out the lines starting "deb cdrom:" by putting a '#' at the start, and see if things work.
