I removed this code:

#ifndef ACPI
  /* FIXME: VMware does not like it when ReactOS is using the BIOS memory
map */
  KeLoaderBlock.Flags &= ~MB_FLAGS_MMAP_INFO;
#endif

Casper added this code a few years back, at that point using the BIOS memory
map prevented ReactOS from booting. It appears to work fine now (with VMware
4). This email is just a heads-up for everyone, if ReactOS fails to boot now
this change may cause it (and I will reverse the change if it causes
problems).
