Two things:
- in the video it has 3 kernel command line parameters, one being
  root=/dev/sda (without a '1'), check your config file
- the Linux booted only finds a VMware Virtual CDROM as hda, so there's
  no sda device found, I'm not currently sure wheter VMware supports
  SATA or not but you should make sure that VMware supplies a disk to
  the guest, the Linux driver for that is compiled in and that the root=
  option corresponds to that.
