Has anyone gotten VMware 2.0 to work on a 4.0-stable SCSI system?  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.

Help!
