hello !

afaik, vmware doesn`t support OS/2 as a guest and it probably isn`t even worth spending time on trying OS/2 with that (there isn`t even "experimental" support!?)

see

http://www.vmware.com/support/reference/common/guest_os2_exp.html

you may take a look at M$ virtual pc or parallels workstation, which are products similar to vmware. at least for parallels i can tell, that you can boot OS/2 with that.
