The alt-f2 thing works for me using 'xvncviewer' via X-Ming on a windows
machine, but not under the java version of tightvnc running as an applet
under firefox... ymmv.
I have also done it by using 'xm block-detach' and 'xm block-attach' for
a windows 2003 hvm, but found that I had to eject the CD from windows
first (right click on the cd icon then select eject) otherwise it
wouldn't recognise it. I installed all 5 cd's of SBS 2K3 R2 this way.
Sorry I can't remember the syntax but it was pretty nasty - the vnc
alt-f2 way is much neater.
Is there any other way to get to the vnc console, eg via an xm command
or something?
It would be nice to have an xm command that says 'signal an eject to the
hvm and replace the image with this one', in one step.
