Toggle boot from CD/HDD #47

Closed jdppettit closed 9 years ago

Currently local VM's boot from the cdrom first, you install the OS, and then it boots from the hdd. The boot menu is enabled so you can boot into the disk image you selected originally, but there is no way to manually boot into a different disk image. Would be great if we could add a button that lets people boot into a particular image.

It appears as though this is going to be necessary for Debian/Ubuntu support. On CentOS you could set the boot device to be the HDD but it would automatically fail over to a cdrom when the HDD failed to boot. This doesn't happen on Debian/Ubuntu for some reason I can't determine. Probably for the better, we should be doing this better anyway.

Going to assign this to 0.1.3 since it is associated with Debian/Ubuntu support.
