It looks like you're trying to use a previously installed Win98 in what vmware calls "raw" mode. They caution against this in the docs, with weasel words like "for experts only," which suggests to me that it doesn't work yet.
I've had good luck with a bog-standard installation of Win2K inside of MDK 9.2, just accepting all the vmware 4.04 defaults. Your /home/whatever has to be large enough to contain the whole Windows installation. -- N. B. Day
