How to create NanoBSD iso image to install NanoBSD on vmware machine?

[Ganesh Borse]

Hi Olivier,

Hard Disk is configured as IDE (IDE 1:1), vm settings.

When freebsd image is booting in this VM, before getting the above error,
following logs are displayed on boost console:
   ada0: <VMWare Virtual IDE Hard Driver 00000001> ATA-4 device
    ...
    ...
   ada0: Previously was known as ad3
   ..
   Trying to mount root from cd9660:/dev/iso9660/nanoISO [ro]...


Thanks
