VBox 2.2.2;  OS X 10.4.11 host;  OpenSolaris 11 guest.

I have never (back through 1.whatever) been able to
unmount a .iso image and mount a different one on a
runing VM.  When I select the unmount option, whether
from the Devices menu or from the icon, the change
appears immediately in the VBox console, but the image
remains mounted on the VM Desktop and in "ls /media".

I can unmount it with "sudo umount".  When I try to
mount another .iso image, again the change appears
immediately in the VBox console, but VM never detects
the mount.

My only recourse is to reboot the VM to swap .iso images.
I need to do this, for example, to install the Guest
Additions; when I try it from the Devices menu it
quietly fails with no error message.

I can use VBoxManage to define images on the VM, but this
doesn't mount them on the guest, AFAICT.

Thanks,
gil
