Absolutely true, it makes no difference. But I'm trying to fulfill a
crazy request
of a client ... being sure that he will throw away all old stuff in a
few months.
So I'm looking for a whatever, time inexpensive solution.

Anyway, as you suggested, the problem seems to be the downloaded bz2.

Downloaded again. SHA not verified
Repeated 4 times the install procedure following - slavishly - my notes
with several changes in the virtual hw config.
Perfectly up and running 4 times in a few minutes each.

For who could find it useful, this works

  * Windows 7 *32 bit*
  * VMware 9.0.4
  * 9front-5368.b4963e7e3204.iso.bz2
  * cwfs64x
  * VM: 1GB Ram, 8GB IDE HD, mbr, USB2.0, NIC

Thanks a lot to cinap and all other 9fans who kindly spent their time to
help.
