I'm not sure what exactly you've done from your posting above.  I have 
FreeBSD running in VM's under ESXi.  I have moved the FreeBSD VM's from 
physical server to server without much trouble.  The devices presented to 
the FreeBSD VM are dependent the VM configuration, so I would check there 
first.  You may have selected a different SCSI host adapter in the VM 
settings for instance.

I believe the problem you are experiencing is more to do with your ESXi/VM 
configuration than FreeBSD.
