I've already done that Greg.  (You do that with the VM->removable
Devices menu.  I'm somewhat of an old hand at VMWare.)

The VM has the USB as a device, but the OLPC emulation is not mounting it.

So it was a good guess but thats not the problem.

It deosnt seem to be mounting the CD-Rom either, which suggests to me
that it could be an issue with the automounter configuration in the
ship2 build.

Is that what everyone else is usign for development? I assume that
matches whats actually on my OLPC?
