    Can you please help here..

    I am stuck in this section "Create and Configure the NAS VM".

    "Add a 2GB virtual hard disk and a network adapter. Bind the virtual NIC to whichever virtual switch you want to use for the iSCSI network (VMNET2 in my case). Add a virtual cd drive and select the "use iso image" option and click next. Browse to the Freenas ISO image and click "Next", then click finish to complete adding the hardware.

    Power on the VM and boot the ISO image accepting all defaults. Once the NOS has booted (shown below), select option 9 from the menu."

    1) I am unable to browse to the Freenas ISO image even though I copied the contents to my ISO folder. I downloaded the latest FreeNAS image from this link.

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/freenas/files/FreeNAS-7-Stable/

    So, when I click on CD-properties-> I am unable to navigate to the ISO file.

    2) Also, while creating the Virtual machine.

    Under Hard Disk->Properties, the location is "[ISOs] NASTest/NASTest.vmdk" by default. Is this correct?

    Just to update, I was able to move forward in step (1).
