You can best run it as Stephan proposed, ie. by:
$ jam @vmware mount
(in case you have a profile called @vmware)
You can also start it more or less manually:
$ jam run ":<build>bfs_shell" path-to-my-image
Starting it without any options prints a help text.
When it's running, you have a prompt called "fssh:/>" - from there you
can explore the disk with a number of commands. The "help" command
prints such a list.
The "cp" command can be used to copy files in any direction; to specify
a host path, you have to prepend the path with ":", like in:
> cp -r :my-music myfs/home/
to copy the my-music folder recursively.
HTH.
