I have a little time on my hands at the moment while searching around for another job and have managed to get the Jas 10.4.8 ISO loaded up in VMware 5.5.3, for those who need the link try this at http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Vmware_how_to and if you need more info try this InsanelyMac Forum / Homebrew Macs (Home of OSx86). / Windows + VMWare + Hackintosh
Now for those new to MAC’s (like me? 
then you might also find this interesting at http://www.osxfaq.com/index.ws
But the real treat is that it might be possible to install something similar to VMTools in the MAC by visiting Get it while its hot: VMtools for MacOSX I’m afraid I can’t verify that it works at the moment because this is a fresh build and I haven’t got the ethernet working yet……
UPDATE:
I’ve got the Ethernet working, but in all honesty I’m not sure how, I’d read in one of the Forums that by setting the Ethernet to be e1000 it should just work, someone else said they could only get it to work under NAT and not bridging - so I flipped over to NAT, then the Ethernet appeared in the System Panel, then I was able to set the DHCP (which didn’t work) then went Manual in Bridged mode and it’s all working…… go figure???
The other main winner I had was discovering this little gem at http://www.lyingonthecovers.net/?p=81 that not only details the install procedure, but more crucially for me (because I’ve been searching for this for quite some time) is how to manipulate the screen size above and beyond the standard 1024×768 as there is not VMTools to make this work.
So I can now have MAC OS X 10.4.9 running full screen at 1280×1024x32……….. nice!!
Post Install Notes:
1. After a full install I was able to add journalling to the disk with the basic MAC GUI disk tool.
2. There was only 1024×768 available under display options and my LCD screen was of course 1280×1024. This was quickly fixed by adding 2 lines to the boot loader configuration file /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist:
Graphics Mode
1280×1024×32
