That's it. The question suggested PHYSICAL cd/dvd to me; hadn't thought to add the iso there. Specify the bootable virtual disk (often labeled as Disk 1) or the network installation source URL. Each CD, DVD, or ISO image required for installation must be added as a virtual disk. 1: Network URL (ftp://, http://, nfs://, smb://) 2: Virtual Disk (4.4 GB CD-ROM or DVD (file:/home/lt/work/openSUSE-13.2-DVD-x86_64.iso)) [1] > 2 which gets past THAT error.
