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.
