When I try and boot (from the 20020127 snapshot) it fails to boot. It hangs at different stages in the boot each time, but the furthest it has ever gotten is trying to load /sbin/init. I can boot from kern.flp and then use my root partition, but things dont load correctly (network, filesystems, etc). I looked through the archives and noted a few posts regarding different vmware issues and a patch. Should -current work under vmware by default, or are there steps i should take to make it work? thanks thomas _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
