2nd Report: amd64-hardened on VMware, using VMware PVSCSI for hard
disk, but e1000 for network.

Booted okay, and similar to the report on XenServer. But this time. I
got 2 (two) red asterisks during boot. The 1st one seems to say "Error
... read-only file system". The second starts with "Warning temp file
left behind ..." (or something similar)

`rc-update del udev-postmount default && reboot` ... no problem.

Unmerged udev && reboot ... no problem.


There. No problem with XenServer and/or VMware. Except for the 1 or 2
red asterisks during boot (which I'm not sure caused by udev-->mdev
switch or something else).


I'll experiment with VirtualBox (on Windows) tomorrow. This might be
much more interesting :-)
