How to install Sharepoint (WSS 3.0 or MOSS 2007) without Active Directory

Hi guys,
Today I had unbelievable problems with installation of WSS 3.0 to single machine (VPC). I wanted to deploy WSS as farm, with SQL Server on the same server and outside of the domain. And... big troubles.... I got the followng exception in the event log when I run the Sharepint Configuration wizard:

Failed to create the configuration database.An exception of type System.Security.Principal.IdentityNotMappedException was thrown.

Additional exception information: Some or all identity references could not be translated.
