Chromium OS : How to boot on VMware

Google has released Chromium OS source codes. OS is based on linux. If you are linux geek , you can easily compile the os and boot. What if you are not a linux guy.

Here how I managed to boot chromium OS virtual machine (in the case of this article VMWare). If you don’t want to buy VMWare just to test Chrome OS you can download trial version of VMWare. Here is how you can boot chromium os on VMWare Fusion(Mac osx) (VMware Player on wondows) .

Thanks for gdgt for providing the chrome os vmdt (virtual disk file), which can be used to run chrome os on vmware. Before continuing you must have a chrome os vmdt file. You can get the file from gdgt site (http://gdgt.com/google/chrome-os/download/).
