Starting from this announcement
http://www.unixmen.com/news-today/706-chromium-os-zero-released-
I wanted the try out ChromeOS but under VMware and have a look at it. The first thing is to convert the downloaded raw image to VMWare disk image format:
$ qemu-img convert -f raw ChromeOS-Zero.img -O vmdk ChromeOS-Zero.vmdk
Then start VMware player and create a new virtual machine, but select "Custom". At some point during the process, it will ask you to select a disk. Choose to use an existing virtual disk, and point the installer tothe file created above.
This is the only trick you need to complete the virtual machine creation. Now to see what is all this ChromeOS fuss about ...
