What I did eventually...
Delete the faulty VM
Re-import the OVA
Gave it 8GB RAM, even though my VMWARE machine only has 8GB (I only gave it 4GB first)
Assign the HDD to 200MB with Thin provisioning (I had thick provisioning first)
Deleted the two extra network interfaces.
I also the left it on 4 cores.
Started up again, and in the CLI, I only configured the network and restarted the network, but I did not reload the system.
Then I went onto a web browser with the IP that was configured, and it automatically went directly to the cluster configuration, and I continued from there..I did not go back on the web setup at all
After that the end process.. bootstrap etc.. took about 5 - 10 minutes to complete
