However, since I upgraded from 4.6 to 4.7-RC I have a problem: I can't select entries with the mouse anymore. Furthermore, moving the mouse out of the wfcmgr window while a menu is popped up there, it seems to ignore all mouse clicks. Happens in KDE as well as in Windowmaker. BTW: I also upgraded some XFree86-4 stuff, it's now in sync with the ports tree as of last Sunday. Any idea?? Karel.

How best to interchange files between the VMWare machine (running Win9x) and the BSD host? I can create/mount an MSDOS filesystem via 'vnconfig' on FreeBSD, but I can't get VMWare to accept it as valid (keeps saying 'not a recognised disk type'). I can create a VMWare Plain Disk, but I can't seem to mount that under FreeBSD... Networking (bridged mode via 'vmnet1') works fine, but I can't ping the BSD host from the guest OS, or vice-versa, so I can't use (e.g.) Samba to share files from the BSD host to the Win guest. I've got a Flash Disk, but VMWare 2.x doesn't support PC card devices... Schlepping files off to a network-addressable host and copying them back to the BSD host will work - except when I'm actually mobile and wish to import on an airplane. Seems to me that the only thing I haven't tried is dedicating a partition to MS-DOS and letting VMWare access that directly. If I used host-only networking mode, would I be able to get connectivity that way? Should I use host-only mode and get the BSD host to NAT requests out onto the external network that way? Is this all correct? Am I missing something? Is there a resource anywhere with some good tips for doing this kind of thing/setting up VMWare with FreeBSD? It works very well, but I'd really like to be able to import/export files, for obvious reasons. I did the obvious searches (several times), but couldn't seem to find anything. Any help greatly appreciated.

Your Plain Disk should contain two parts. Here is example: DRIVETYPE ide CYLINDERS 1041 HEADS 16 SECTORS 63 ACCESS "/home/vmware/nt4.mbr" 0 63 ACCESS "/home/vmware/nt41.dat" 63 1049328 First, nt4.mbr contains partition table. Second, nt41.dat is partition that can be mounted under FreeBSD. > Networking (bridged mode via 'vmnet1') works fine, but I can't ping > the BSD host from the guest OS, or vice-versa, so I can't use (e.g.) > Samba to share files from the BSD host to the Win guest. Strange, I'm using bridged mode on 4.2 and host-only on 4.3 without problems.

Thanks for your help. we are a research centre in communications and for our research we need to use FreeBSD version 2.x on VMWare. For version 2.2.8 everything is working fine the operating system have no problem to be installed and the network behave well no device time out and the operating system find the emulated PCI ADM PCNET II ethernet card. So for FreeBSD 2.2.8 we have the following log for the Lance driver. ... vga0 rev 0 on pci 0:15:0 lnc1 rev 16 int a irq 9 on pci 0:16:0 lnc1: PCNet - PCI II address 00:50:56:a6:20:83 Probing for devices on ISA bus : ... In the case of FreeBSD 2.2.7 is not able to find the address of the card and the type of the card but it is just able to find the PCI card. So for FreeBSD 2.2.7 we have the following log for the Lance driver. ... vga0 rev 0 on pci 0:15:0 lnc1 rev 16 int a irq 9 on pci 0:16:0 Probing for devices on ISA bus : ... In the case of FreeBSD 2.2.5 is not able to find the correct card. It find a NE2100 card like lnc1: NE2100 (C-LANCE) address 00:50:56:a6:20:83 and when we configure the card we got the device timeout message. We this situation we are not able to get the network card up and running. If someone have a suggestion we will be very happy because we need to install various version of FreeBSD from the version 2.0.5 to 2.2.8 and we were just able to get one version working with the network. In fact, we have install all version of FreeBSD from 3.0 to 4.6.2 and we were able to get them working and send packet on the network in a VMWare environment.

Are there any plans to commit this? I think it'd be great to have this as standard. Regards, AS [0] e.g. for software that insists you have the CD present to run it, but you don't want to flatten the batteries spinning a CD-ROM on an airplane. is@rambler-co.ru said: > 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.

Hmm. I had tried that, but 'Doze wouldn't seem to recognise the disk until I did the fdisk/format thing, and afterwards I had an MBR at the beginning of the second file too... I realized I could extract the actual partition minus the MBR with dd and the 'skip=63' incantation (and then frob it back over the top afterwards) and this worked, but was kind of annoying. In fact I did the whole "define it in VMware" thing all over again, and this time the Plain disk Just Works with vnconfig/mount_msdos. I don't know what I did wrong the first few times (yup, I was using the "-s labels" argument).

Gaah. I had tried this at regular intervals over the last two years, with precisely the same results. I went to refresh my memory as to precisely what didn't seem to work for me (I seem to recall that the host would ARP for the guest on the default, e.g. ethernet, interface and never see the replies), but, uh, it Just Worked, despite having precisely the same configuration I've been running since August 2000 (modulo the OS and relevant ports having been updated quite regularly. Err, wow, it all works. Huh, I guess I'll just shut up now... :-) Thanks for the reply.
