OL8.1 on VBox 6.0 (W8.1 host) - Installation Source - Local Media option missing

cilyrikMar 24 2020 — edited Mar 24 2020

I'm trying to install Oracle Linux 8.1 on VirtualBox 6.1 virual machine.

Steps I took:

Step 1 - Download ISOs from Oracle SDN with DLM

So here I have the first question: what are those ISOs? Why it isn't a single one?

Step 2 - Create VM and insert ISO

With trial and error I found which one to use to boot into setup - it's V984215-01.iso

Step 3 - Trying to actually install Oracle Linux 8.1 and getting the error

So here's where I'm stuck. For some reason "Loical Media" installation source is missing.

Questions:

What I did wrong?
How to fix?
