boot.ini for vmware3 xp guest on t40p

[Randy Bush]

i am trying to hack vmware to run under freebsd with a guest os of
winxp on a raw disk on a thinkpad t40p.

there is an issue with xp on the tp40p, an acpi hal.dll.  so i
useed an xp cdrom from another system to get the right dll, at
which i was was successful, and then follow the instructions on
<http://www.vmware.com/support/ws3/doc/ws32_disks8.html#1009931>.

[ of course, as i am xp not 2k, i have do use c:\windows\system32,
not c:\winnt\system32.  but i figured that out. ]

but, when it comes to the bit that has me modify c:\boot.ini, well
i just ain't got none, ain't none nowhere on the disk, nohow.

so what in xp's version of this hack?  anybody been here before?
