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?
