Hmm, you're aware that devices inside vmware are quite independent of your real hardware? If you create a single vmware disk device, that ought to end up as /dev/hda, /dev/hd1 or C: to the "guest" OS, no matter if it's a real partition on some real device, or just an ordinary file on the "host" system? Perhaps you should first try to install some more familiar operating system in the vmware machine, or boot from an ordinary linux rescue floppy. So that you can look around inside the emulated environment before you try installing the Hurd? /Niels PS. Questions about vmware (or any other proprietary software) is inappropriate on GNU mailing lists. But I believe the device naming issues are similar if you use plex86 instead. _______________________________________________ Help-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-hurd
