I run netbsd-1.6.1 inside vmware on a regular basis.

SCSI virtual disks don't work.  Seems the scsi driver resets frequently 
causing vmware to believe it's broken.  Use IDE disks and be sure to put 
your cdrom on a different IDE bus from your hard disk, otherwise netbsd 
doesn't see the hard disk.

I haven't tried running vmware on netbsd-1.6.1, but I have heard other 
folks discussing doing so with linux emulation.  I can't tell you how 
well it works.
