I'm having some problems with installing RHEL 5.4 under VM. No, I've
already completed a Suse and a CentOS4 under VM with little problems.
I can get it to boot (spooling decks to the reader and IPLing), but when
attempting an FTP install, it hangs on:

Ideas, suggestions, anything?
Looks like you have 512MB stor defined for this guest. Does it get any
farther with 768MB?
Also, are there any firewall rules on the FTP server that would prevent
access from the z guest/subnet, but allow the FTP client you used above?
