Eric,
I also ran TAP from within XP and also ended up with Storage\Volume
unresolved, but my image boots fine. I also did not add the video or
mouse; I add them later with "Install VMWare tools" from the VMWare
menu. VMWare 4.5.1 has std. VESA compatibility so you can get high res
even without the VMWare video driver.
I am not trying to use VMWare Buslogic SCSI yet; I tried to install it
after boot and it complains that the INF file is missing a required
section and fails. Yet the same driver installs fine in real XP and
W2K3. Given that std. XP has daily updates and my XPe is dated 9/2003,
I'm waiting for XPe + SP2 to come out.
I think you are being too ambitious initially to actually boot from a
VMWare SCSI hard disk.
Initially I was blowing up (7b) when deploying the image since I was not
copying all files (hidden, system) from the target build directory to
the boot image. The technique I now use is to create another virtual,
shared IDE drive that is the C: (boot) FAT16 drive of an Xpe VMWare
session and the F: drive (IDE 1:1) of the XP build system. Others have
used multi-boot and a single XP/XPe session to test XPe images but the
problem with that is that the XPe image is not on C: so you have to make
adjustments.
