There doesn’t seem to be a lot of options in VMware Fusion. There’s a popup in the config for “Bus Type” and you can select “SCSI” or “IDE”, “SATA” and “NVMe”. On the 6.0 installation, using “SCIS”, I get: bha3 at pci0 dev 16 function 0 "BusLogic MultiMaster" rev 0x01: apic 1 int 17, BusLogic 9xxC SCSI bha3: model BT-958, firmware 5.07B bha3: sync, parity scsibus2 at bha3: 8 targets, initiator 7 sd0 at scsibus2 targ 0 lun 0: <VMware,, VMware Virtual S, 1.0> SCSI2 0/direct fixed sd0: 8192MB, 512 bytes/sector, 16777216 sectors > What happens if you change that? Not sure what you mean by “that”. There is no other option for SCSI. If I change it to “IDE”, for example, I get a “wd0” device: pci0 at mainbus0 bus 0 pchb0 at pci0 dev 0 function 0 "Intel 82443BX AGP" rev 0x01 ppb0 at pci0 dev 1 function 0 "Intel 82443BX AGP" rev 0x01 pci1 at ppb0 bus 1 pcib0 at pci0 dev 7 function 0 "Intel 82371AB PIIX4 ISA" rev 0x08 pciide0 at pci0 dev 7 function 1 "Intel 82371AB IDE" rev 0x01: DMA, channel 0 configured to compatibility, channel 1 configured to compatibility wd0 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 0: <VMware Virtual IDE Hard Drive> wd0: 64-sector PIO, LBA, 6144MB, 12582912 sectors wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 2’ Note that’s on 6,3 > And to be clear -- when you say it doesn't see the SCSI drive, how > are you not seeing it (i.e., what did you do to "see it" and what > was the result?). By “see it” I mean the installer says there are no disks available to install on. >From the dmesg when I set it to “SCSI”: If you’d like I can boot the installer for 6.0, 6,.1, etc, and see where it starts to not see it. . .
