I could make a template that is ESX 3.x compatible, but that is a limit with VMWorkstaion 6.0 that I am using.
However looking at the video I see that everything is fine right up to the point that it tries to mount the floppy and then the first image is "Protected Mode" before all of the core dumps. So make certain that you add and extension of ".img" to the freesco.045 disk image and also look through the options for the floppy controller and make certain there is no protected mode in the configuration along with making sure the file permissions on that file are set to read and write.
As a secondary option it might be possible to use the .iso CD version of FREESCO on ESX, but I am not sure on that as it would need an IDE controller and at least on ESX 3.x there is no IDE support and changing the kernel to support SCSI is not really simple on a CD.
If you are afraid that you might make a mistake. The chances are high that you will never learn anything.
