Dell PowerEdge Virtual Media

[Steven Hartland]

For the record this appears to have been fixed in 8.1-BETA so we can
now successfully use the fixit CD mounted from an iso under the IPMI
tool on our supermicro machines. It even fixes the issue where
previously you had to select device rescan for it to see the usb
cdrom after boot :)
