    First off what VM are you using?  The most common would be VMWare but
that is not the only option.  If we talk about solutions based on a bad
presumption it would lead to frustration.

    When I last messed with running Debian inside a VM as well as booting
natively (back in, *cough*'01*cough*) I recall it taking some doing to
get the mounts to line up inside the VM and outside the VM.
