Default OpenBSD installation failed on X

hi buddies, I just have some problems with my OpenBSD installation on a Virtual machine (VMware workstaion) .
I read this : http://openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html & followed it's instructions, but in the last when I want to reset my system and start my virtual machine to load the operating system I've encountered to this error : http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/578466/error.JPG.html
also, when I want config my X window system there is no dicrectory in /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11 for performing configurations . (even I gave answer "yes" to this Question in installation progress : Do you expect to run the X Window System? [no] ) .
I'm hazy & I couldn't solve this problem, can anyone help !?

regs,

- RadioActive

The problem isn't OpenBSD, but your VMWare configuration, make sure the disk image(s) are attached, and that VMWare is configured to boot from the disk image.

From looking at your .jpg, it looks like you're attempting to boot from a virtual NIC and virtual network, rather than a virtual hard drive. If you want to boot from a virtual drive, you'll have to tell your VMWare environment to do so.
