can't install arch in vmware fusion , /dev/tty7 error

I have the latest vmware fusion ,I downloaded the i686 core iso image. 

I use vmware fusion (the latest)  i select the default options , when I get to setup if i select "auto prepare harddrive" it fails and tells me to see /dev/tty7 which I can't .

So i manually partition, and then when I select files to install I get the error "cannot start pacman see /dev/tty7"

So i thought maybe the disc image was bad, Ive downloaded the iso from different sites/sources with the same problem. It would seem vmware should be the easiest to install to.

I read the wiki but I don't understand, I have no other issues installing other linux distros in vmware fusion.

Re: can't install arch in vmware fusion , /dev/tty7 error

Ok got past the auto partition error issue, instead of selecting the first option to install arch from the live disc, select the 2nd option for IDE with no sata drivers in vmware fusion. I think it takes care of both problems
