How do I find the cdrom device with the cdrom drive mapped to an iso file?

On solaris 10 x86, I want to mount/map an iso image to a cdrom drive in my vm.

 

I've set the vm up with VM>> settings >> hardware and pointed to the iso image.  But when I "cd" to /cdrom it does not have the expected directories that should be in the iso file.

 

 

 

Since it is not sparc I don't have an OK prompt to use "show-disks".etc...

 

How do I find out what the device path is?  Like:

 

    mount -rF hsfs /dev/dsk/cX?   /mnt

 

(The cdrom was not found at the suggested location: /dev/c0t0d0s2 )

 

Thanks,

Russ

 

P.S.  I'm following these instructions to get my solaris vm to go full screen:

http://wotho2.ethz.ch/vmware/tools/

If anybody knows something newer or has some advice on this...

 

I am running vmware server e.x.p build 22874  -- the beta version on windows XP x64.

 

 

P.S.S.  While in full screen mode, is there a way to "alt-tab" to windows and back?  Or do you have to leave full screen mode?
