I finally found it:

If you have downloaded installation
media from the Internet in the form
of an ISO image file (most probably
in the case of a Linux
distribution), you would normally
burn this file to an empty CD or DVD
and proceed as just described. With
VirtualBox however, you can skip
this step and mount the ISO file
directly. VirtualBox will then
present this file as a CD or DVD-ROM
drive to the virtual machine, much
like it does with virtual hard disk
images.
For this case, the wizard's
drop-down list contains a list of
installation media that were
previously used with VirtualBox.
If your medium is not in the list
(especially if you are using
VirtualBox for the first time),
select the small folder icon next to
the drop-down list to bring up a
standard file dialog, with which you
can pick the image file on your host
disks.
Sorry for the noise ...
