installing suse 9.0 on vmware 4.0
ok guys, this is my question:
i´m installing suse 9.0 on vmware 4.0 through FTP according to suse.com, but when this virtual host reboots as a final part of the installation procedure, it never gets up & asks me for a "image file" to be inserted in a floppy disk.
i know some boot loaders exist nowaday, & suse lets you pick up between lilo & grub, i´ve been playing around with both options & different settings but i can´t make my computer to boot up.
so, can anyone please tell me what file am i missing?
is it enough if i change any path at grub/lilo settings?
of course, i´m a newbie at linux issues....
thanks in advanced..

I too am new, and just about to try installing... what driver did you use for vmware network? I can't find one that works... (see https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21115826/SuSE-9-1-on-VMWare-4-5.html) if you know one that does and want the points! :)
