ok, i got vmware startable.  the problem was that an early attempt to load
from cdrom had left files showing it had not been configured.  my problem of
the morning is

trying to install a vitual win98 from a real partition.  config goes fine,
but when i try to power it on i get

    Failed to open /dev/hda: Permission denied

the relavent slice and its partitions are all owned by the vmware user.  i
even hard-linked a /dev/hda to /dev/ad0s1 just in case.

what am i not understanding this time?
