For the moment I've managed to 'solve' the problem by using the snapshot

Yes, sorry, I meant to say that I am pretty sure that I was using the
current image all along.
I'm having trouble getting the machine to mount a USB drive, and I can't

/cdrom does appear to exist (but it's empty as I would expect -- right?),
and /proc/partitions shows sr0, sda, sdb, and sdb1.
When I run mount with `-t isofs`, I get "No such device" instead of "No
