well that's just part of the installation process. as long as you create a new scsi disk image for it, the installer should do that with you. you could always boot it with a live cd like DSL to make partitions if zenwalk can't, but i'm sure it can just fine.

I think cfdisk is pretty easy to use, even for a "not linux guru", and there's a lot of howtos on the web.
Anyway install should help you to do it (parted or cfdisk, i don't remember).

Some contribs use vmware without problem (on different configs). I used it myself with clean virtual ide disks, on vmware server.

Could your problem come from a bad iso (did you checked the md5) ?
