I have not tested this myself, but BeOS is rumored to run without any major problems in microsoft virtual pc.

kind regards,

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
