I gave your LiveCD a try, but it does not contain SCSI drivers. I am using those to do development in VMWare Player because I find SCSI to be more efficient than IDE.

If you do a respin of your LiveCD, please consider including SCSI drivers in it.

That seems odd. I'm using the cd right now on VMWare Fusion with VMWare's LSI / FusionMPT based driver. The livecd autodetects everything from a default VMWare setup without any trouble.

I've dropped a copy of the VMWare config file I'm using here:

I am using the pvscsi device, which is probably the reason we are having different results. pvscsi is more efficient than lsilogic on vmware.

I don't think Gentoo's stock installcd includes that. The kernel config I built with was extracted from the most recent installcd's /proc/config.

I'm planning to re-roll the installcd at least with renamed spl, and possibly with stock portage tree for ZFS (have a few issues I still need to patch ebuilds for, but I think they're only applicable to booting from ZFS). I'll see if I can get the various VMWare pv drivers in when I redo it.
