Bizarre - I've installed osol0811 under VMWare Workstation 6.5.1 on XP.  
I'm trying to mount the VMWare tools virtual image, but having no joy.  
I've tried with the CD rom emulated as IDE and SCSI to no avail.

I use: rmformat -l

and it tells me that its in /dev/rdsk/c4t15d0p0 (which matches the SCSI 
id I specified) and the tize is detected at 7.8MB which I think is 
reasonable for the tools.

But then when I try to mount I always seem to get:

# mount -f hsfs /dev/rdsk/c4t15d0p0 /cdrom
mount:  /dev/rdsk/c4t15d0p0 is not a block device.

I get the 'not a block device' pretty consistently whatever I try (ie 
whether or not I try '-o ro' or to specifiy hsfs or let it guess.

I'd have hoped that the removable drive service would mount it for me 
and it would show up in the Places on GNOME but no matter.

Any ideas?

James
