wow thanks for that typo there, with all the switches out there, I must have blindly put the - in front of busratio. I fixed the first post.
Cannot believe I missed that, its very critical to stop the bouncing reboots in vmware.
About the hang, its not necessary the last line you see is the cause of the hang.
Usually this area of hang is due to some new driver, or graphics setting incompatibility.
Try giving it the graphics mode options to lower resolution.

Although I used a PC version of snow, not the retail these guys mention. it works good.
again core2duo class and above is a absolute for snow.
The reason for operating system not found is because you are probably using "darwin" setting in the vmx file.
You have to use freebsd for the emulation to boot from regular HD. If you use "darwin" setting in vmx, you need that
darwin.iso boot helper to chain boot to hard drive.

amd 6000+ was before the core2duo line. Its missing sse4 so under vmware sse3 is dog slow.
Its almost unusable, that is why its freezing. There are ways around it, but emulation is still slow.
Your better off trying to separate HD install the leopard installation. This way it will be faster.
