This is actually a VMware question more than a Linux question. They
have a user forum: have you tried posting about your problem there? I
have a little bit of experience with VMware, but you don't provide
enough information for me to take a stab at what the problem might
be. First, is this a virtual disk or are you trying to use an actual
scsi hardware disk for your Gentoo install? I have no expereince with
using a real disk or partition for the guest OS, only with virtual disks.
It is a scsi virtual disk , and VM display it as '' Hard Disk 1:
(SCSI 0:0)"
So I might not be able to help with that anyway. If it's a virtual
partition I can't understand why you would specify it as /dev/sda3.
I've always put OS's on the first partition of the virtual disk.
VMware presents these virtual disks to the host OS as scsi disks, so
my experience has always been with systems installed to /dev/sda1.
Did you partition the (virtual?) disk and put /home and swap or
something on the other 2 partitions? Anyway, I'm not even sure I can
help. Probably best to try the VMware forums.
And I have partition the disk for 4 part .
/dev/sda1 /boot reiserfs
/dev/sda2 swap swap
/dev/sda3 / reiserfs
/dev/sda4 /usr reiserfs
So I tell the lilo to mount the root file system in the partition
/dev/sda3 , is it wrong ?
Thank you for your reply !
