[one-users] vmware deploy error: raw driver

[Tino Vazquez]

Hi Antoni,

I believe this is a bug in the documentation. Please do try the following:

DISK=[IMAGE="vmUbuntu",
     TARGET="sda",
     BUS="scsi",
     DRIVER="file"]


If this works, I will update the doc.

BTW, what version of ESX are you using?

Regards,

-Tino
