Mostly CF writers are connected using USB. In the WRAP the CF is
connected to a IDE interface. If your VMware instance can boot from a
USB device _and_ you have the respective drivers in your initrd _and_
you set up the package path to point to your USB connected CF I would
think this could be done.

You still would not be able to test the IDE package path though, but
this is just a little modification in your boot loader configuration.
When I changed to using GRUB I felt this kind of modification was easier
to make and maintain than with syslinux. This was one of the main
reasons for the change.

cheers

Erich
