It fails to boot with right after the autoexec has been run, the windows
splash-screen just does it nice loops in the bottom of the screen.
But i got it to work now, if i enter a few DEL's in the xterm i started
vmware from it continues to boot properly :)
I run it on a virtual disk, but vmware says it lies in a networked fs,
but it's on a local fs.
