Check to see if the cdrom drive is "connected" and/or "connected at startup".hello all
i've installed gentoo for a friend who doesn't want to dual boot, so i installed it in vmware for her. i followed the handbook except for the /dev part, i cheated and made the system udev before the first boot. system came up just fine, the virtual scsi works great but when i go to mount the vmware-tools image, i can't find /dev/cd* there is nothing in /dev/ that points me to a cdrom. i've setup vmware to give the machine access to a physical drive, tried with and without legacy emulation but it refuses to populate /dev/ with a cdrom or cdrom0. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Patrick
If you choose, from the menu, install vmware tools, sometimes it sets up the image, but doesn't make the cdrom as connected.
