I've beaten my head against this wall again and again and I'm about to give up. I _really_ want to run this software, but this is ridiculous. My VMware configuration: No IDE. SCSI 0:0 Plain Disk, contents: DRIVETYPE scsi CYLINDERS 1115 HEADS 255 SECTORS 63 ACCESS "/home/frank/vmware/win98/disk.mbr" 0 63 ACCESS "/dev/da0s1a" 0 6297417 RDONLY "/dev/null" 6297480 11614995 ...which corresponds to the actual layout of my dual-boot disk. SCSI 0:4 CD-ROM Device Type CD-ROM Name /dev/cdrom symlink from /compat/linux/dev to /dev/cd1c. Floppy Drive Type File Path /dev/fd0 Ethernet Adapters Host-only No serial, no parallel. Mouse autodetect. No sound. Memory 64MB (host memory is 512MB). Guest OS Windows 98 I get "Can't open /dev/da0s1a for writing: Invalid argument." That's the _best_ I get. With other configurations I see vmware crashes.
