What VM hardware version? It's not working for me w/ flexible or e1000.
Install successful on VMware ESXi 6.0u2
IDE hard drive, 2GB, on IDE bus 0, master (0:1)
CD drive on IDE bus 0, slave (0:1)
Network working using AMD-PCNET (VMware flexible adapter)
Same procedure as already posted, using HBA213 floppy image.
Cool stuff.
Side note: I tried a Buslogic SCSI adapter and 2GB hard drive, but
after the install was complete, it hung after reboot, maybe it
didn't like the IRQ the card was assigned to:
