If the drive doesn't show up in the GUI, then you (more precisely the 
user running VirtualBox) does not have read access permission to 
/dev/cdrom. There's not much point offering a drive for which you'll 
just get a permission error later.

The order of things is important. Specify the parameters in the order 
given in the VBoxManage usage (BTW: VBoxManage modifyvm -help prints 
just the usage message for that subcommand). The -dvd option MUST come 
after the VM name.
