Dell has a very nice VMware Alliance center, with plenty of white papers, support documents, and case studies. Somewhere in there, and I’m not sure on what page, they point to this video:
[warning: direct link to .wmv file. No sound. I can’t figure out how to get a screenshot using Windows Media Player, but it shows a script hitting SQL Server.

Here is another video of using a LiveCD on VMware Workstation
from SecurityDistro via unix-tutorial blog. Note you can also use this tiny LiveCD Player virtual appliance to skip some of the setup.
