1. Couldn't get it to work on vmware using the other option or the FreeBSD 2. Seems that they both have IDE0:0 2a. the OpenBSD3.5 install CD couldn't find a hard disk using the IDE0:0 vmware disk 3. Ended up choosing the Linux vmware option 4. This creates scsi disks 5. These showed up when the Install CD was booted 6. was successfully able to install after this. james@jamesmcdonald.id.au
