Are there step-by-step VMWare instructions? (giving up)

[bsdfsse]

I give up on trying to get VMWare 3.2 to work on either FreeBSD 4.x or 
5.x.  Thank you to everyone who tried to help me.  After 5 full days of 
trial and error on 3 machines, I think I can say it needs to be looked 
at by a non-newby.

The only time I got it to run was with a 5.2-Release installation with 
networking disabled (following Christian's docs).  Every other 
configuration resulted in losing access to the hard-drive as soon as I 
hit the VM's "Power On" button.

I might try again if there is a known working solution, but for now I 
have to do a 6-week project on native Winblows.

I learned a ton, and wouldn't use any other OS on a server.  I hope to 
run it on my desktop soon.

thx.
