The bootdisk image file will not work on VMWare because VMWare chokes on the odd floppy size.
What I do to get this working: 1. Create new Linux VM with a small hard disk. 2. Boot to DOS floppy with syslinux/fdisk/format on it. Create DOS partition, format it, syslinux it. 3. Boot with a network boot disk (ie. Bart's) and copy the contents of the boot floppy and the initrd.lrp with hard disk support in it (available from http://leaf.cvs.sourceforge.net/leaf/bin/packages/uclibc-0.9/28/initrd_ide.l rp?view=log.) Also, this would be a good time to get the pcnet32.o, mii.o, and crc32.o module files copied (the latter two are probably included in the distribution). 4. Modify leaf.cfg: PKGPATH="/dev/hda1:msdos" 5. Modify syslinux.cfg: default linux initrd=initrd.lrp init=/linuxrc rw root=/dev/ram0 LEAFCFG=/dev/hda1:msdos Boot it up and start configuring.... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of M Lu Sent: Monday, January 29, 2007 6:27 PM To: ram; leaf-user@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [leaf-user] Does Leaf works on VMWARE Try to get the bootdisk.ima from the ISO and tell your VMWare to boot from that floppy image.
