Task Sequence fails when deploying OS to VMWare workstation

[Mordac]

Hi Everyone, we just migrated our OSD over to our SCCM server and I'm trying to get imaging working for our vmware virtual machines (ESX). I have already imported the vmware drivers and made them into a package. The package has been added to all DPs and Boot Images and I've updated the distribution points. I pxe boot the slice, start the task sequence but as soon as it gets to the partition/format part it just dies and reboots the workstation. When you build XP normally with the CD this happens if you haven't pressed F6 previously and mounted the 'floppy' drive with the vmware SCSI drivers so i'm assuming this is where it's failing. The problem is, I've already added the scsi drivers and all of my boot images show as having them loaded. I'm guessing that something failed during the import of the drivers to the boot images but SCCM gave us the 'green check marks' all the way through so how do I tell if it failed behind the scenes? Anyone have this same issue?

thanks,
