I got somewhere with this.  Turns out VMWare can emulate an IDE or SCSI
disk, but defaults to a SCSI disk.  You can get VMWare images that have
an IDE disk, then just wipe the contents.  Unfortunately, I got to the
same point as qemu (stuck trying to calculate dependencies at install
time).  Alas.

Thanks for all the suggestions though.
