Hi All,
I am getting ever so closer to booting VMWare with LinuxBIOS. I can boot FILO with VGA within VMWare now but I have a final hurdle. I am getting IDE problems within FILO when it's trying to read sector 0 of the boot drive. I get a 'read sector failed' error so because of this it just jumps straight to the GRUB menu.
Anyone have any ideas what the problem might be? Below is a copy of the output from LinuxBIOS from start to end.
Thanks guys.
