Aha!  That did it.  Thanks!

Here is a strange thing, however.  I'm running vmware3 and without
the binary patched I get the message about AIO not being implemented
when I power off the VM.  With the binary patched that message goes
away but then I have the host reboot issue when I try to use the
power on button.  Odd.  For the time being I'll just run with the
port as is.

Oh, one other thing.  The 001.vmware.sh script has to be modified
for vmware3 to even start.

Thanks for the help!
