Actually I got it to recognize the scsi cdrom drive, and it booted the NT install disk; so I installed NT from the cdrom and added Microsoft Office <blush>, at least Excel and Word. It works rather well, but is still having trouble with both floppies and with the network. It is always unable to set up ethernet0, or else it thinks the device is busy. The config file in /usr/local/etc/vmware/config has a vmnet1.HostOnlyAddress in it, although I'm trying to do bridged networking. Do I have to reinstall to get this right?
