thanks, thats what I was looking for.  However, I'm still having
trouble getting the save to work properly.

here is the controller dump:
            [data] => Array
                (
                    [UsersEthnicity] => Array
                        (
                            [ethnicity_id] => Array
                                (
                                    [0] => 1
                                    [1] => 2
                                )

                            [users_id] => 14
                        )

                    [User] => Array
                        (
                            [age] => 21
                            [about_me] => adfsadfs
                        )

                )

but I need something like this right?
            [data] => Array
                (
                    [UsersEthnicity] => Array
                        (
                            [ethnicity_id] => 1
                            [users_id] => 14,

                            [ethnicity_id] => 2
                            [users_id] => 14
                        )

                    [User] => Array
                        (
                            [age] => 21
                            [about_me] => adfsadfs
                        )

                )

here's the controller function:
        function add() {
                $this->log('in newuser_controller add()');
                $this->User->create();
                if(!empty($this->data)) {
                        $this->log($this->data);
                        $this->log('test1');
                        //If the form data can be validated and saved...
                        if($this->User->save($this->data)) {
                        $this->data['UsersEthnicity']['users_id'] = 
$this->User->id;
                        $this->UsersEthnicity->save($this->data);
                        $this->log('test2');
                        //Set a session flash message and redirect.
                                $this->Session->setFlash("User Saved!");
                                //$this->redirect('newuser/add');
                        }
                }
        }

view:
<? echo $form->input('UsersEthnicity.ethnicity_id', array( 'type' =>
'select', 'multiple' => 'checkbox' ),$ethnicities); ?>
