I have it running in VMware Fusion 6.0.2 right now. Not sure what
version I was at when I originally created the VM. It's been a year or
so since I initially set it up. I think the way around that restriction
was to install it on a physical partition/volume, and then point Fusion
to that partition/volume.  Like I said, I have a Boot Camp volume I also
use for Fusion (for better speed); and I installed 10.6 on a partition
on that same volume.
