9.0-RELEASE amd64: No Boot on VMWare Workstation

[Larry Rosenman]

Is there a known issue with 9.0-RELEASE on amd64 VMWare Workstation?

I tried to build a new VM on my new Lenovo W520 Laptop (Windows 7
Pro/64-Bit, 16G ram) and it gets to the Beastie menu, and times out, then
dies.

Any ideas?

What can I provide?

And, is there an issue with 9 in general, or could I install 8.3 and then
source update it to 9 or 10?

Thanks!
