I was trying to figure out what the Remote Disk on a MacBook Air
actually was so I could try to connect it by hand to a VMware
virtual machine. Its not actually an ISO image, but I noticed that /
dev/disk2 exists, which often is where cdrom bsd devices are
created. To test this I ran hdituil eject /dev/disk2 and sure
enough the "Remote Disk" disappeared from the "Devices" sidebar
finder and my desktop.
I cannot get it back, even after rebooting. I'm going to try a
recovery CD (it can still net boot from another machine with a
recovery disk), but was wondering if there was any way around this
or if I should file a bug with Apple.
When in doubt, file a bug.
