I tried to install Darwin every way I could think of under vmware and had no
luck at all no matter how I tried it, wouldn't partition the drive and
install. I ended up getting a couple of removable drive racks for my boot
drives and just switch them out when I want to run Darwin. vmware worked
great for different linux distributions, and all of the $icrosoft garbage,
just not with Darwin. with smaller drives being so cheap, I just got a 40gig
to put it on...
Good luck with using it with vmware
