Hi,

You should perhaps give me more details.

Just out of my memory, here are the two things I sometime forgot to check and 
that gave me the same problem:

a) remeber vmware is a virtual pc. While booting press [F2] to get to the 
"Virtual BIOS" and check that booting from CD is selected.

b) if /dev/cdrom does not work, try /dev/hdc or whatever your CD really is. 
Oh, and make sure that a box saying something like "legacy emulation" is 
checked, otherwise it won't boot from the CD as far as I remember.
