Hi M. I am using VMWare just fine, but I do have the same problem booting from CD. I googled a link to the old version of Bering, and that idea works just fine with this version.
1. Burn the CD or mount the CD using another VMWare machine, and copy the file bootdisk.ima off of it, and to your host disk. 2. You can use it as is or change the extension to img so it shows up when you browse for floppy disks in VMWare - I skipped this step and change the filter to show all files. This is a disk image file that you tell VMWare is a floppy for your Bering VM. I am using that image a my floppy, and I have a VM with 3 nics, like my production firewall. I configured the modules to support my production machine and then added pcnet32.o as well. I am able to prep my entire firewall in the VM, and then when I am done, 1. I copy CONFIGDB.LRP, moddb.lrp, and leaf.cfg to /tmp. 2. Change the from the disk image to a real floppy, mount it, and copy them back the disk (or you can use another vm to mount the disk image and copy the files). This is working like a charm, and leaves me in the position I want to be in the end - booting from CD in production, with only my config files on floppy. BTW, I reallly like the backup. Backup configs, and backup modules - Done! I do have one question, I have from time to time modified files in the actual package - like custom weblet pages. Do I now have to mod them offline, tar them up and put them on my floppy, or is there a way I can still backup an entire package the old way - perhaps from the command line? I don't do that often, so I there is no easy way, that's cool. Only been playing with it one night, the Bering team Rocks!
