How to run Chrome/Chromium OS on VMWare Server 2.0 - Part 1

1. Power on your PC ;-P

2. Get ready for VMWare server 2.0 on your computer,
omitting how to install VMWare server now.

3. Create Virtual Machine on VMWare server

3-1. Name and Location
type in like [Chrome OS test] -> press [next]

3-2. Guest OS as [linux operating system]
choose [Other 2.6x linux(32bit)] -> [next]

3-3. memory and processor as default in my case

3-4. Hard Disk
3-4-1. create a new virtual disk
3-4-2. Property
Disk Mode must be [independent] and persistent, and
Virtual Device Node, Adapter must be IDE (0),
as described in the referred web pages.
[next]

3-5. Others
Add a network adapter, as bridged,
Don't add a CD/DVD Drive, in my case,
Don't add a Floppy Drive,
Don't add USB Controller, in my case
then [finish]

4. Run [Chrome OS test]
though it wouldn't run, I did it anyway.

Then you'll see the created directory and files
in [Virtual Machines]\Chrome OS test

5. Okay, get the Chrome OS image at
http://gdgt.com/google/chrome-os/download/
(which requires ID. Create ID occasionally.)

6. Open the downloaded ZIP, and
copy chrome-os-0.4.22.8-gdgt.vmdk
into [Virtual Machines]\Chrome OS test

7. rename or remove the original "Chrome OS test.vmdk" and
rename chrome-os-0.4.22.8-gdgt.vmdk to "Chrome OS test.vmdk"

8. Power on the virtual machine
