Re: Installing OpenBSD 3.0 under VMware ESX 1.1
I found the boot(8) man page on line, which provides some helpful
information. It tells me that the BusLogic BT9xx, which VMware ESX
emulates, is supported. But, apparently, the controller must be configured
on port 0x330:

Here's the configuration of the emulated controller, as reported by another
guest operating system:

The I/O port (0x1000) doesn't seem to match up with the required value
(0x330). Does that mean I'm toast?
