At hand, i only have VMware workstation, and I have verified the steps, hope it helps. I assume that you have parepared the installer.img from Lim's description:
1. create the vmware disk file based on the installer.img you can use sfdisk -l installer.img to get the C/H/S information about it, although it reports issues, it won't do harm, at least from my observation. And get our interested line: ... for C/H/S=*/1/0 (instead of 49/255/63). ... Also, you may need to change the following entries: the extent description part, to the real block size of the image, basically, it's size of installer.img/512. Cut the following lines to one file with the installer.img as installer.vmdk, and copy the installer.img together with this file in the same directory. --- # Disk DescriptorFile version=1 CID=b01deebc parentCID=ffffffff createType="monolithicFlat" # Extent description RW 794622 FLAT "installer.img" 0 # The Disk Data Base #DDB ddb.virtualHWVersion = "4" ddb.geometry.cylinders = "49" ddb.geometry.heads = "255" ddb.geometry.sectors = "63" ddb.adapterType = "ide" ddb.toolsVersion = "0" -- 2.create a new vmware target environment as linux 2.6 series, and create one primary hdd with IDE at least 1.8GB(maybe a little less is possible, i haven't remebered the precise size, and I haven't tried SCSI yet, but may be also possible). Add the installer.vmdk as one extra hard disk to the virtual machine. 3. Boot the VM, and when bios shows, press F2 to enter BIOS, to select the right installer drive as the boot drive, if you added later, it will be Primary Slave. Choose it before the Primary Master by Pressing + on that HDD in boot column. After that, you will see the boot starts. 4. it may report issues in installation as "no sda6" as it happened to me, it seems to have some relationship with the updated partition table read failure. Take it easy. Just reboot the vm, and installation will continue, as the updated parition table will be effective when rebooted. Wait some time, and it will report "Successfully configured N images." Then the installation is done! 5. Reboot the VM, and change the boot up drive as the Primary Master. Or you can just remove the installer.vmdk from the VM configuration. Then boot starts, you will be able to use it. Some notes: 1. Be sure to compile the kernel with VESAFB and add the vga=788 with in cmdline. 800x600 seems to be a quite usable resolution, for 1024x768 and above resolutions, you may meet some performance or execution issues. 2. If you want to use network, you may need to compile the AMD PCNET32 driver. 3. the installer.vmdk also works with Virtualbox, but i haven't verified the above steps yet. 4. Chris's make-live may provide some short-cut, i haven't explored yet. But I may update if I find one good approach. :) Hope it helps! And correct me if i have something incorrect with my description.
