Hi,

>> vmware esx only supports scsi virtual drives.

Which version of ESX are you using?   ESX 3.5 provides two types of
SCSI controllers.
One is BusLogic and the other is LSI Logic which is the default.  If
you change the
controller type to BusLogic, Plan 9 should install on ESX without problems.

ESX provides IDE controllers to its vm, but those are only for FDDS and CD-=
ROM
I suppose.
