Mac OS X Server Guest from .iso or .cdr

I cannot seem to get Parallels Desktop 5 to install a Mac OS X Server (either 10.5 or 10.6) installation from a .iso or .cdr file.

The Guest OS is configured for the correct OS, but upon starting, the VM goes black (w/ the correct memory and finding the correct IDE/SCSI devices), but then it goes completely black and shuts down.

Am I missing something in getting these OS's installed?

Thanks,
Jeff
 
I had dmg and tried converting it to Iso and Cdr too, but it worked only after I burned the image file to the DVD-R DL using Disk Utility. And believe me, Server will work as a virtual machine very bad :(
 
TonyA,

I don't doubt you, but that really seems like a bug on Parallels' part. In any case, I'll give it a shot.

Thanks for the reply.

Jeff
