Tried this too, and it didn't work either. The floppy drive is at the top of the list and it seems to be accessed since the LED comes on. Didn't have any problem with SuSE 7.1 but I have made a few fundamental changes to the system (hardware and software) so I'm not really comparing like-for-like.

Been there, done that, except for doing the "!". Always thought that was along the lines of "not". I'll give it a try.
I beg your pardon -- you are right! Yes, if there is NO "!" then the floppy should be bootable; if there is a "!" then it isn't. Pity the VMWare Help isn't helpful about this. snip<
Sorry about the confusion. Ted.
Hi Ted, No problem, and no, it didn't work ;-( Let me ask you this: when you expand the removable drives section to reveal the floppy drive, can you actually get it to move to the top of the list with "+" ? This does not happen for me. I can highlight the floppy drive (which I do, and exit and save) , but it won't budge. I seem to recall that I didn't have this prob in prior SuSE versions. In fact it seems to me that I used to pay heck to get a CD to boot, but a floppy always did, especially with a fresh VM. Curious. Thanks again. Tom
