I made a test install on a VMware Server installation (Host: AMD64 + Gentoo 
2006.1). I created a VM (OS type other). Then i exit the console, changed in 
the *.vmx file the key "guestOS" to guestOS="os2experimental" and start the 
installation of OS/2 Warp 4 (german) from CD. Somewhere in between i got two 
SYS... messages. After a reboot the install completes and seems to be ok now.

Hope that helps.
