scsi drives on w98se why?

[unknown]

I treid to import w98se VM built on the MS vPC with the converter to
vmware workstation 6.

First problem was, that the vmware6 recognises the drives as SCSI! Why
, have no clue.

Then during the start, large number of drivers wants to be installed,
assume that vmware uses different drivers then VPC, so it is OK; but
they need to be found first and where noone knows. The w98se refers
itself to its installation CD, but the CD seems not to be accessible,
at least not at that moment

This all ends up in big confusion until the guest completely hangs.

Installation of vm tools also fails, simply hangs and the whole guest
w98se crashes.

Is the import so complex? Or am I doing something wrong?

I think that the import *is* so complex. It may be more complex for
Win98 than for WinNT, due to the better hardware abstraction in NT.

Did you ever try to move a hard disk into another PC, and boot the OS
there? Then also all required drivers must be available.

BTW, is the VMWare machine set to "Windows 98" guest system?
