You need to check your vmware settings, enable ide support. We use vmware to do development livecd work. It does work.
Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux". I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers, this is the only reasonable way to do this.
