Darwin-dev mailing list (Darwin-dev(a)lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/darwin-dev/site_archiver%40lists.app… 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. - Kevin Thanks for the suggestion. After poking around, a friend found an option to enable / disable remote disk. It was in the finder preferences of all places, not in system settings.
