Forum Topic - Creating a VMWare bootable Image: (1 Item)
   
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
