Strange..

I had taken my original physical BBS system that was running OS/2 Warp 4.0
using HPFS and took a Symantec LiveState image of it.  I then restored that
image into a VMware Workstation virtual machine.  It refused to boot past
the HPFS statement. 

I remarked that line out and used FAT only, and it booted - but naturally I
couldn't access my data.  

I decided to start a new eCS VM, which loaded with no issues provided I was
using JFS.  Then I manually copied my BBS data from the HPFS drive to the
JFS virtual drive in VMware.  

The rest is history.. :)
