Why you don't download the Iso, mount it in the virtual CD drive and then install it from there to your virtual disk? Thats how I installed it in a VM.

Img just means it is an image file storing binary data. That also could be a disk image or image for a bootable USB stick or something like that. If you want a CD image, look for a ISO file.

Edit: see the OPNsense download page:

• vga: USB installer image with live system capabilities running in VGA mode as GPT boot. On amd64, UEFI boot is supported as well.
• nano: a preinstalled serial image for USB sticks, SD or CF cards as MBR boot. These images are 3G in size and automatically adapt to the installed media size after first boot.

So for a ISO you want to select 'dvd' as a download and not 'nano' or 'vga'.
