Maybe you have to boot from CD more than once until the install process is complete and DOS can boot from harddisk, yes... It might also be the case that VMWare makes some assumptions about the "Windows" you try to install, but I guess you can search altavista or google to see which experiences other people had with VMWare Fusion... :-) You are probably right about the problem: VMWare might have a default to try to boot from harddisk as soon as anything is on it, even if it is not yet bootable, but it should also have some setup or "BIOS" option where you can say manually that you want to boot from CD now.
