Is host relevant (or correct)? so remove from title.

@Marty On my guest the last line of dmesg | grep -i cd-rom shows me [ 2.852493] sr 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0. Note the last sr0 for the device name. But I don't know if this works on your oracle guest.

Thanks @Freddy. mount | grep iso doesn't return anything (just like the last ls in the image doesn't return anything). How do I know what to replace /dev/sr0 with? How do I know where I can find my virtual cdrom?

Either the directory is wrong or the iso is not mounted. What's the output of mount | grep iso? You can try to mount it manually, on my guest (no oracle) commands cd /; mount /dev/sr0 /media; cd /media work (replace /dev/sr0 with your virtual cdrom device).

corrected title
