NPE at trying to mount hda in VMWare

JNode-FS

Hello,

I am trying jnode on VMware 4.

I have 2 virtual devices attached to the virtual pc.

hda -> virtual hard disk with 1 file of 1GB
hdc -> ATAPI CD-ROM

When Jnode boots throws a NPE trying to mount hda:

INFO [InitRamdisk]: Create initrd ramdisk on /jnode
INFO [InitRamdisk]: Format initrd ramdisk
Cannot start hda
java.lang.NullPointerException: NPE at address 0B93497E

INFO [InitRamdisk]: Restart initrd ramdisk
INFO [InitRamdisk]: /jnode ready
INFO [FileSystemMounter]: Try to mound jnode
INFO [FileSystemMounter]: Mounted FAT on jnode

If i try to use the touch command to create a file inside the jnode directory throws an error, that seems logical because there is an error at inicializing IDEDriver, but the messages bellow the NPE says that has mounted a FAT filesystem....

I have to say that i have not formatted the virtual disk, and i supose there is no data at all.

Beside the error, there is a method to partition a disk in jnode?

At another point, i have another error above the NPE of hda but i don't know what is related:
Cannot start pci(0,7,3)

...

what type of bus is the SMBusController??? what type of devices are hung?

I have builded jnode from CVS.

Thank you for your patience.
