The lines that were quoted:
init: starting /bin/rc
echo: write error: bad process or channel control request
echo: write error: bad process or channel control request
are almost always caused by trying to enable dma
when it's not available.
In the case of VMware, I believe DMA is never available,
since they handle the REP INSL instruction as efficiently
as they could simulate DMA anyway. I know this is the
case for the simulated IDE. I am not as sure about
simulated SCSI.
