Creating a VMWare bootable Image
Hi
I have been experimenting with mkxfs_vmware and trying to create a bootable VMWare image from my IFS. There is a
warning from mkxfs_vmware if my IFS image is greater than the Floppy disk size (1.44Mb). Subsequently, it doesn't work.
It hangs at "Hit Esc for Altboot..."
All the other methods I have seen people involve hacking dinit or some linux based tools to create a bootable VMware
image. Typically they create a Harddrive image created by a hacked dinit.
In general, what is the best way to create a Bootable VMWare image from my IFS (say size will range up to 20MB).
Is this possible? Seems like it should be...
Thanks
