I need to have both 1.5.1 and -current on one of my machines.  I'd like
   to do it by running -current inside VMware.

   Unfortunately, I can't get the -current install disks to get through
   autoconfiguration.  With IDE "disks", I get to the probe of pciide0,
   and then I get a hard hang (the only thing that seems odd up to that
   point is that cpu0 is probed as 471983.81MHz instead of the correct
   1300MHz).  With SCSI "disks" bha0's probed, then pcib0, but I get the
   same hard hang right after the "isa0 at pcib0" line.

   Has anyone got NetBSD running *inside* VMware?  I'm trying to use chs's
   snapshot of 2001-05-26.

   I've tried varying how much memory VMware has from 32 to 256MB, as well
   as turning on and off the "linuxrtc" device; no difference that I can see.

I did this with a 1.5T or so.  VMware is running on a NetBSD-1.5.1_BETA,
the virtual machine was the 1.5T.  It was a snapshot build, and I seem to
remember having to try a number of different boot floppies before I found
one that would work.
