I think this has been rehashed several times here, so the answers may be 
in the archives.

Anyway, the answer is "it depends"; mostly on the bootrom of the machine. 
As for vms I think there is a difference between different versions. In 
addition, vms requires the drive to have automatic remapping turned off in 
the mode pages of the disk. The versions of vms I have tried requiered it 
at least.
