[ros-dev] ROS Livecd issue

[Samuel serapion]

Instaling on a vmware scsi disk was broken for a while (afaik) it's now fixed.

I have seen that when creating a new vmware disk reactos setup fails
to properly format the disk and then aborts and attempts to restart,
when you restart vmware now tryies to boot to hard disk. When vmware
reads the disk it bails with "partition signature != 55AA" . To fix te
issue you have to go to the vmware bios setup and change the boot disk
back to cd-rom and re-run reactos setup.  Now you can format the disk
and setup  will (if you're lucky) now install.
