VirtualBox's default boot order for any VM is floppy, cd, and then disk. Personally, I set all my VM's to boot disk, then cd, and press F12 if I need to boot a CD which is exceptionally rare. It also sounds like you have the VM's CD-ROM set up as a passthrough to your real CD drive. You'll find things faster if you just use an ISO image on your hard drive instead, and that would also prevent any random CD you put in the host machine from showing up in or otherwise affecting your VM.
