I've surely done something wrong. I just don't know what. |
2 |
|
3 |
I'm using vmware-player-1.0.1.19317-r7, and I have run the |
4 |
configuration script to |
5 |
enable all forms of networking. |
6 |
|
7 |
Further, I'm running the Minix virtual machine from the web page. |
8 |
|
9 |
At school where I teach, this VM works fine under Fedora Core 5. Here, I cannot |
10 |
get a floppy to work either as /dev/fd0 nor as a file. I also cannot |
11 |
get internet |
12 |
stuff to work. |
13 |
|
14 |
Floppy always reports I/O errors: an interrupt times out. The floppy |
15 |
is /dev/fd0 |
16 |
and works under Gentoo. |
17 |
Internet fails to get a host IP. Gentoo reports vmnet1 and vmnet8 are up. |
18 |
"Here" is a dual-Xeon running Gentoo, all stable packages. |
19 |
|
20 |
SO: Minix cannot contact the outside world by floppy or by internet. |
21 |
Not helpful. |

I get this message every time I start VMplayer: |
24 |
/opt/vmware/player/lib/bin/vmplayer: |
25 |
