-current ISO won't boot on VMware

[David Cuthbert]

This is VMware 4.5.2-8848 on Windows, using the -current ISO from 20-Dec.

Booting normally, I see at the end:
acpi_cpu: throttling enabled, 8 steps (100% to 12.5%), currently 100.0%
ad0: timeout waiting for interrupt
ad0: timeout waiting for interrupt
ad0: enabling readahead cache failed
ad0: timeout waiting for interrupt
ad0: enabling write cache failed
ad0: 8192MB <VMware Virtual IDE Hard Drive> [17753/15/63] at ata0-master

ata1: resetting devices .. done
acd0: MODE_SENSE_BIG command timeout - resetting
ata1: resetting devices .. done
acd0: MODE_SENSE_BIG command timeout - resetting
ata1: resetting devices .. done
[and on and on...]

Booting in safe mode, I get:
ad0: timeout waiting for interrupt
