Sorry about the confusion. I was looking for any current information
on how to successfully install 9atom on vmware. What I've found via
google is very sparse and not recent. From what I am able to gather,
it sounds like the vmware ATA hardware emulation is severely lacking
and doesn't agree with what's in 9atom's sdata.c. It's a starting
point, though. Does that help?

I understand why you'd see vmware as a waste of time. It is indeed
problematic on a few fronts.

As soon as I get my plan9 dev environment back up and running, I will
be happy to do some poking around to see what I can discover. If I
find anything useful, I will send along patches. If I have questions
about specific failures, I'll let you know. Thanks for being willing
to field questions.

That was my understanding.
