    I got it to work (I was able to install a new feature in Office 2000) by
    enabling "Legacy emulation" with the physical drive set to /dev/cdrom
    (which is symbolic a link to /dev/hdc). I'd rather not do it that way,
    but at least it's working.

    I am using the same build and ide0:1 points to /dev/cdrom.

    It works fine, the unit is a dvd+rw drive and I have no problem.

    I am using FC2 and win98.

    It could be a w2k problem with vmware, possibly check vmware website for
    possible bugs.
