Hi, I have a patch that allow to use CD-ROM images in VMware2 via vn device: http://sysoev.ru/freebsd/patch.vn_cd.txt Patch was made and tested on FreeBSD 4.2 and 4.3. I had used it to install Windows NT 4.0 from CD-ROM image in VMware2. It can be used on FreeBSD 4.x only (because it's using vn device). Russian description is available here: http://sysoev.ru/freebsd/vmware_cd_image.html In English, short: After appling of patch you need rebuild vnconfig and kernel. vnconfig will get new options - '-s cdrom': vnconfig -s cdrom -c vn0c image.iso After configuring vn device you can use it in VMware2 as /dev/vn0c instead of physical CD-ROM device.
