[openbeos] [OT] Installing BeOS in vmware

Hi guys, 

first of all execuse me for the OT but i wanted
to (re)install BeOS (Dano) on my notebook when i found
out that my "beloved" dvd drive was dead... =(

So i had an idea:
"just use vmware! it works for bsd! give it:
1) the raw partition (/dev/foo)
2) the BeOS iso
3) the boot floppy
run the insall phase through vmware and let it install
the os in the real disk"

so far so good, but i hit a problem:

during bootphase, when it reaches the splash screen, it panics
and brings me to kdl with a nice msg: 
"unable to mount /dev/disk/atapi/foo/bar/etc"
So it seems vmware is unable to see my BeOS iso.
Any idea?
Should i switch to another virtual machine?
Any successful stories from any of you?

Thanks a lot
