LGTM.
VM BIOS/UEFI assumes attaching the ISO file to a virtual optical
device; not a virtual drive, correct? Does it make sense to make this
explicit?
As I said in the original proposal, I'm not worrying too hard about the
VM case, because it's more or less entirely there to get filled in by
openQA. Humans can add results if they like, but it's not really that
important.
The test case does actually state this, though:
"If testing in a virtual machine, attach the image to the virtual
machine as a CD or DVD."
I take it there's been actual cases of ISO files booting in the
VM as
a virtual optical device; that when burned did not boot from physical
optical media?
Yes, that was the case with the F21 syslinux bug -
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1148087 - which is why it
took us a while to catch it.
