Using VMWare with FC2

[Bob Crosson]

I got it to work (I was able to install a new feature in Office 2000) by 
enabling "Legacy emulation" with the physical drive set to /dev/cdrom 
(which is symbolic a link to /dev/hdc).  I'd rather not do it that way, 
but at least it's working.

I am using the same build and ide0:1 points to /dev/cdrom.

It works fine, the unit is a dvd+rw drive and I have no problem.

I am using FC2 and win98.

It could be a w2k problem with vmware, possibly check vmware website for
possible bugs.
