If you have not already installed the OS your boot from statement should be boot from cd-rom not boot from disk.

pdi-594-rtp(config)#virtual-blade 1

pdi-594-rtp(config-vb)#boot from cd-rom

pdi-594-rtp#virtual-blade 1 stop 0

pdi-594-rtp#virtual-blade 1 start

Try changing that parameter and restarting the VB.  Then launch VNC to your BVI address:0

I try to connect with tinyvnc and with this client the message is no bootable disk......
Strange the disk is OK on physical machine.

I try with différent ISO:

2003 32b

2003 64b

2003 SP1

2008 R2 32 and 64

2008 32 and 64..

same result....=>

If you have a idea....

best regards
