Vmware installation

I have successfully installed gentoo into a virtual vmware machine. I even compiled all of Xorg, Gnome, and Kde. Then i realized the downside of using genkernel. I added a framebuffer and it screwed up my system. Can someone help me with installing gentoo without a framebuffer. I know i need to have

Code:

---

vgh=1

in my grub, but how do i configure the kernel?

instead of running

emerge genkernel

just do the ff:

cd /usr/src/linux

#configure the kernel
make menuconfig

#compile the kernel
make && make modules_install

cp -v arch/i3386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.xx.xx-gentoo-rx
cp -v .config /boot/config-2.xx.xx-gentoo-rx
#where 2.xx.xx is the kernel version and rx is the release version

note: I highly recommend you read the gentoo handbook for more info
