Boot from a "live CD"?

$
0
0

I would like to boot a live cd (and/or a live usb) on my system: MacBook Pro (late 2011) running Mountain Lion,

with VMFusion 5.

 

My goto VM is Ubuntu 12.10 64. That is the machine I was rebooting in my attempts to boot from a CD.

 

It was frustrating trying to read the F2, F12, Esc "interrupt info" taht flickers on the screen during startup . . . so I

had to reboot many times.

 

When I entered Setup (F2), I was not allowed to change the boot sequence. Frustratiing, as the boot sequence is

HD, removable drive, CD, I didn't even try booting from a live usb.

 

I tried several times to use ESC to enter the Boot Setup; to no avail. I kept getting to  the Ubuntu 12.10 login

screen.

 

So:

1.  Can I boot a vm from a live CD or live usb? How?

2.  Can I change the boot order? How?

 

Is this the right path to achieve booting from a CD or a usb? Or should I create new VMs?

 

Thanks,

Tim
