freebsd stable - Oct 2005 - FreeBSD 6.0 rc1 guest under vmware-workstation-5.0.0.13124-r2 on linux host (boot error)

Hello all,

I thought I'd give the new RC a whirl under vmware, after setting the 
guest to boot from the CDROM (which was the CD1 .ISO), shortly I 
recieved this error:

http://xs.mw/temp/freebsd6rc1_vmware_boot_error.png
(BTX halted)

Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a vmware problem or a freebsd one?

All help appreciated, cheers,

Robin

Sorry, I neglected to mention this is the AMD64 6.0 RC 1

Yep. Me too. I googled this and it appears to be a known
issue with the IDE CDROM driver in 6.0
