It's kind of a round-about way to do it, but it would probably > work. don't think so, you still won't be able to read the BSD file system as vmware does not host this in native (NTFS/FAT/FAT32 . . .) file system as far as i am aware. it uses a single large file to emulate (much like loopback image) or a disk partition (same a multi-boot). p.s. not actually run it on win so i could be wrong but that's my understanding you can, however, use ftp or other network transport between the file systems - perhaps that would be enough?
