You can specify at boot time, for example in vmrun.sh

                -s $(($nextslot+1)):0,virtio-blk,${isofile}
            \


 'isofile' is specified using '-I' argument



$./vmrun.sh -I <ISO file> vm1


Once system is booted, you will see two virtio-block:

1. vtbd0 -> Boot HDD

2. vtbd1 -> CDROM image or ISO file.
