10. Run INSTALL.BAT to start the NetWare server installation process. Install the
software in a virtual machine as you would for a physical PC.
11. If the virtual machine has been configured for networking (bridged, host-only,
NAT or custom), the installation program detects a PCI Ethernet adapter and
prompts you with a list of possible drivers. At this point, do not select or load any
LAN drivers; press the F3 key to continue installing without a LAN driver.
Note: Once the installation has been completed, you can load and bind the
appropriate LAN driver. Selecting or loading a LAN driver during the NetWare 4.2
installation may hang the installation process.

Then shut down the server and type exit to return to a DOS prompt.
After you finish the installation, install VMware Tools, which installs and loads the
CPU idler program.
VMware Tools for NetWare 4.2 Guest Operating Systems

machines, VMware Tools provides CPU idling, sends a heartbeat from the guest
operating system to the host and gives the virtual machine the ability to be gracefully
powered on or off. For details, see the manual for your VMware product or follow the
appropriate link in the knowledge base article at www.vmware.com/support/kb/
