Yes -- what is does is pretty much all in the background.

Did the VM boot at the end of the install?  Or did you get the error
message you cite?  It should have booted at the end.

I'd suggest you reinstall the VM.  That is, remove the old one in
~/vmware and try again through the wizard from the command line.

I've never seen the message you cite (and I just did a quick install of
W2K on another 6.2 box).  I've installed on a variety of BSD computers
with a variety of hardware.  While the reinstall might not do it either,
that's the best suggestion I have.
