[opensuse-factory] OpenSUSE 10.2 beta1 netinst CD install problems with VMWare

Hello all,

I was attempting to install OpenSUSE 10.2 beta1 as a guest OS under
VMWare (under Windows XP) using the NetInst image. Initial boot was
fine, but shortly into the install processes, I'd get and error dialog
to the effect of "make sure CD 1 is in the drive". Changing to another
console window, I was able to confirm that the image could be mounted -
so I'm assuming the problem lies with either how the CD represented
itself, or the CD# detection code.

After several retries, I gave up, and started downloading with the
'standard' CDs (CD1, CD2, CD3, etc). Everything is going fine so far -
they just take a lot longer to download (I'm up to CD 4).

Hope this helps,
Mark
