+## Booting from Virtual Media
+
+After inserting virtual media, a DataVolume is created and the ISO image begins downloading. Once the download is complete, configure the VM to boot from the CD-ROM and restart it:
+
+```bash
+# Watch the DataVolume download progress
+kubectl get datavolume testvm -n default -w
+
+# Set boot override to CD-ROM
+curl -i -X PATCH \
