Ummm, ok, thanks for pointing that out.

btw, this is VMWare Server 1.0.1.

# grep CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS /boot/config-2.6.18.8-0.2-default
CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y

ok.

# cat /etc/fstab

ummm, ok, gotta mount it:

mount /proc/bus/usb/
# mount
/dev/hda2 on / type reiserfs (rw,acl,user_xattr)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5)
/dev/sda5 on /media/disk type vfat
(rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,uid=1000,utf8,shortname=lower)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)

Ok, lets try it!

I fired up vmware server, started up the windows200 pro virtual
machine...and I have usb devices in the menue just like it should!  Cool! 
It works!!!  8-D  A nice way to start out a monday....
