Hi I tired to use my Ubuntu partition as a VM according to: http://fearandloath.us/vmware-fusion-bootcamp-partition.html
I seem to fail when creating the raw disk. Here is my setup:
Nr Start Size Type Id Sytem
-- -
-
-
-- -
1 1 409639 BIOS EE Unknown
2 409640 146538496 BIOS AF HFS+
3 147210280 54265816 BIOS 83 Linux
4 201738240 32702464 BIOS C Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
After I did
/Library/Application\ Support/VMware\ Fusion/vmware-rawdiskCreator create /dev/disk0 3 ~/Documents/Virtual\ Machines.localized/linuxpartition ide
the two files for the disk exist:
-rw-------@ 1 tbender staff 32256 25 Dez 15:02 linuxpartition-pt.vmdk
-rw-------@ 1 tbender staff 681 25 Dez 15:03 linuxpartition.vmdk
After I created a VM with the newly created disk as harddrive I was promted to convert and did so.
However when I try to boot my new VM I get a "missing operating system" error.
I did poked a bit round with the vmdk and pt.vmdk and noticed the following:
tbender$ strings linuxpartition-pt.vmdk
Missing operating system
Operating system loading error
EFI PART
BSD 4.4
<?EFI FAT32
Non-system disk
Press any key to reboot
Any clues what migth have happened?
To me it looks like the disk creation failed. I could really use some help.
Thanks in advance.
