Well it seems that there are issues with udev and VMWare. The VMWare devs
"find sysfs really ugly and hard to use"
(http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=7968&messageID=63805)
and it looks like we're going to have to find a workaround.
Apparently RH Fedora supports /etc/udev/devices (see
<http://people.redhat.com/~harald/udev.html>), which isn't supported in
Gentoo. Devices files in this dir get copied on udev startup to /dev.
Perhaps this would be a good idea. I can always just set
RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="yes" after creating the necessary device files and/or
symlinks, but this seems like a bit of a cop-out ;-) But if it works, I'll
use it.
