I had no problems building a OS/2 Warp 3 virtual machine from the CDROM.  
The CDROM emulator under VM Workstation worked fine.  One of the big 
advantages of virtualization is abstracting away the underlying 
hardware.  I can now move my OS/2 virtual machine to any hardware 
machine I want.  Right now it's running as 1 of 6 virtual machines on a 
Windows 2008 R2 server.
