G'day,
I'm trying to setup a VMware virtual machine to act as the diskless
client as I have no other hardware to try. I've pointed it's floppy
device to be a file on disk created by,
$ cat eb-5.2.2-pcnetfastiii.zdsk bootfloppy.dsk
But when I boot the Vmware client I get this after the usual
oops,
Forget that previous question, answered it myself, got an earlier
version of etherboot, works a treat. However.
I'm now at the stage where the client is going into X, and I get this
error,
(++) Using config file: /tmp/XF86COnfig.1
Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb'
Peter,
I think i've heard that VMWare support is broken in Etherboot 5.2.x,
I'd go back and try 5.0.x

Ok, for X, you need to specify the BUS ID.
This is the entry that I use for VMWare thin client:
X4_BUSID = PCI:0:15:0
That should take care of it for you.
The rgb shouldn't be causing any problem for you.

Hi Tim,
Thanks for the link, I tried method 2 and that got 5.2.2 to boot and
produce the when attempting to run an OS/2 guest error message.
When you have the source for Etherboot and just compiled code for VMWare
the issue is obviously in the compiled code. ;-)
lol, Ok fair enough but that
lol, Ok fair enough but that doesn't explain why earlier versions of
etherboot work. So a broken etherboot 5.0.11 and a broken Vmware
2.0.4
makes for a working system. But a fixed etherboot 5.2.2, won't work
with a broken Vmware. I guess I can live with that, but that older
broken but working
