Well, I have the Gsx version and used to have the Vmware workstation. Now,
in gsx, one can setup as much as six scsci type devices (maybe in
workstation too, but I forget). Now, the devices linked to the scsi do not
have to be real scsci.. one can map atapi to scsi for example. All these
setting are under the configuration editior. When you first setup with
the wizard, it only allows you to setup one cdrom, one floppy and one
disk. Afterwards you can use the configuration editor to add or change
settings.
Now, for example, I have SCSI 0:0 linked to my virtual
disk then have
Device type name
SCSI 0:1 CD-ROM /dev/scd0
SCSI 0:2 CD-ROM /dev/scd1
SCSI 0:3 CD-ROM /dev/scd2
and the such.
If vmware does not have scsi (which I don't remeber), the it is still
possible. Of course, for P-M one has the virtual disk.
Device type name
P-S CD-ROM /dev/hdc (if that is your IDE CD) or /dev/scd0 (if you have
used ide-scsi emulation)
S-M CD-ROM /dev/scd1
S-S CD-ROM /dev/scd2
and the such. put in the right device names for your machine, but you get
the idea. Basically, for SCSI you can have upto six devices and for IDE
only 4. I hope that helps, and sorry for answering late.
