Hi,

I just installed the "vmware2" port on my freshly CVSup'ed and rebuilt 4.3-RC 
system.  The port installed fine and it appears to startup just fine.  My
system has a SCSI CD-ROM drive and SCSI CD-RW, both of which work just fine
under FreeBSD.

VMWare doesn't seem to be able to access the CD-ROM drive, with the
device entry changed to /dev/cd0c.  I haven't investigated any other
"features" like networking although I expect that will work fine.  Does
anyone have a SCSI CD-ROM drive accessible from within a VMWare virtual
machine?   There didn't seem any mention of this at
http://www.mindspring.com/~vsilyaev/vmware/,  I sort of need this so I can 
easily install the guest OS.

Many thanks, Shaun.
