I am trying to get VMWare 2.0 to run on afreshly installed 4.0 STABLE laptop. I installed the port, grabed the Linux profs port, and installed it. All of this went withou any errors. Now what I wan to do in te long run (I think) is to use the partitons of my multiboot machine as drives for VWARe (please feel free to tell me this is a bad idea, if it is). My disk is partioned as folllows: slice 1 NT 4.0 slice 2 DOS (Yes really) slice 3 FreeBSD 4.0 STABLE I would appreciate some advice on how to get this working. The VMWare setup wizzard does not seem to think these slices exist. In any cas, I decided to try something simple (I thought) to at leas get something runing. I ran the stup wizzard, and told it to creat a 200M virtual disk for DOS. All this seemed to go OK. Then I put the first disk of the DOS install set in the floppy dirve, and hit the "Power On" buttom in vmware. I got an error about reuning on a remote drive, which I don;t understand. In any case, it flashed and came back to the original white screen. I invoked the configuration editr, turned of a few things (CDROM, network) and tried again, at this point the floppy drive light came on. That was 10 minutes ago. Now the floppy light has gone out, and I still have the smae blank window. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone sugest how to get this working? -- Stan Brown stanb@netcom.com 404-996-6955 Factory Automation Systems Atlanta Ga. -- Look, look, see Windows 95. Buy, lemmings, buy!
