Curious - we do both in VMware, frequently, inhouse. We set up VMware to use ISO image files as the CDROM and boot from real CDROMs as well. We also use kickstart files similar to the one you used for other purposes. You shouldn't need this kickstart file to boot from an SME Server CDROM or copy of the ISO image. I'd guess you might need to play with some VMware settings, or you have a very old version of VMware which doesn't allow you to select ISO image files (though that doesn't explain not booting from physical CDROM). Alternatively, do you perhaps have a bad ISO image/CDROM - have you confirmed the MD5SUM?
