Possibly, but I don't think so.  In other VMware OS installs, 
the reboot command works, and halt shuts off power to VMware.

I can't test it on a real computer because I don't have a PC 
with a SCSI CD drive handy.

With VMware it's easy to test.  After the boot starts, click
the menu to disconnect the CD.  Then the boot can't find it.

On a real IDE-CD box, I'd have to disconnect cables on a running 
machine at the right time.  I don't really want to try that.  :-)
