Can you try adding a virtual floppy during install?<BR>

We pulled a very decent version of caiman and it seems a bit finicky.<BR>

After selecting language et al, I get the GUI install screen after selecting “1” to install.<BR>
I hit esc-2 and immediately the GUI crashes and I’m back at selecting “1” to install.<BR>
<BR>
Looks like OmniOS needs /dev/rdiskette0 and that it doesn’t exist in vmware fusion... from the install log:<BR>
OSError: [Errno 6] No such device or address: ‘/dev/rdiskette0’<BR>
