virtualbox: where do I mount the install CD?

I'm installing arch linux as a guest OS in virtualbox.  I've setup the iso of the netinstaller in virtualbox and can boot off of it just fine, but when I go to choose the cdrom as a source it isn't found.

Now I can see the cdrom and can mount it anywhere I need to, I'm just not sure where to mount it, any ideas?

Normally you would mount a CDROM like so:

mkdir /mnt/cdrom; mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

Maybe you can choose net as the source (it's a netinstall after all).

Edit: A couple other ideas:
- http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=5338

- Maybe you need Guest Additions for that?
