I think I figured out the issue, it is my issue in fact.
Yesterday when experimenting with different storage settings, I removed an
IDE controller. Now I cannot find it in the storage settings to add it back.
I tried to create a new machine and insert the iso file as a sata virtual
harddrive, but it didn't work.
Maybe, I will try to insert the IDE controller back with the help of sited
person. If that works, I will post an issue to the bug tracker about the
problem with adding the controllers with screenreaders. Thank you!

Thank you for your reply.
I checked using the command line option you provided and yes, the dvd is set
first.
But after I insert an image into a virtual drive, it doesn't load, the boot
manager is displayed instead, and when I press enter the installed system
loads.
Should be a dvd controller an IDE disk controller? If yes, then I made a
mistake that I removed it from a machine and try to use a virtual disk
that's set like sata.
Thank you.

Yes, it is.

vboxmanage modifyvm vmname --boot1 dvd --boot2 disk

where vmname is the UUID or name of your guest. You can verify the
boot order was in fact changed with:

vboxmanage showvminfo vmname |more

and looking for:

"Boot Device 1:               DVD
Boot Device 2:               HardDisk"

in the output.
