Loads of people have managed it - just do a search for "Gentoo on vmware". 
You should probably post the exact error, and what you did to lead up to that point so that people have a better chance of helping you fix it.

VMWare use SCSI emulation and u must use /dev/sda instead of /dev/hda, with slackware for example will be the same, I suggest u to try with Microsoft Virtual PC 2004, it's better than VmWare |

Yes, I have installed Gentoo on VMware successfully, however I'm having trouble getting it to boot after properly.
I used IDE when defining my VM for VMware... The reason being, because I searched the forums extensively before I did it, and most people indicated that IDE was less trouble.
Also, remember to enable BusLogic support in the kernel if you chose that too...
See my thread here, if anyone can help me - https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=212484 |
