Debian Linux PXE installation with low memory no HDD

Attempting to install Debian Linux on a VMware guest with low memory (64MB) using PXE boot the installation fails to detect any hard drives.

Tried LSI, Buslogic & IDE drives - all same problem.  Tried increasing to 256MB - same problem.

Needed to attach the Netinst.iso file to the VMware guest and boot from "CD", hard drives are detected as expected.
