    WTF? A quick examination of the VDMK file indicated it was raw disk
    image so I converted the file to a VDI and tried to boot it. It

    It keeps throwing a BUGCHK on boot and dropping me back at the VSI
    boot screen.

    Figured it out eventually :-D All it needed was the controller set to
    AHCI mode. Yay. Here We Fkn' Go!
