I downloaded the zip file and pointed a VMWare machine at the iso file. It seemed happy. It was the fastest response I’ve ever seen on a VM.
But it just sits there. It’s been hours now.

Hello and welcome witcher
Have you read this documentation, how to run haiku on virtual mashine?
https://www.haiku-os.org/guides/virtualizing/
You should change your post title, because not really informative
@writch:
Please give us a few more details. Which VMWare product and version, host operating system, VM settings (os type, ram, etc), what version of Haiku (beta2 or nightly, 32 bit or 64 bit).
I probably can’t help you any further personally because I don’t have experience with Haiku on VMware, but I’m sure you’ll get help from the community once they know a little bit more about your problem.
Some generic things you can try first:
It was the BIOS setting. I haven’t had to use a legacy BIOS in some time, but swapping that brought me to a big blue screen with a functioning mouse pointer.
Make sure to also set a compatible network card in the VM or the network can be flaky
