In the meantime I had another failure. But also I think I know what makes the difference: the amount of memory one specifies for VMware. In the failure case I had 16 Mb, in the success case I had 8Mb spec'ed. This is on a Pentium100 box with 32Mb RAM. Going back to 8Mb for VMware made the CDROM re-appear. I'll investigate a bit further.
