Does 6.2 still have that time- and ACPI issue in ESX3? I've got it running in ESX2.5, but it indeed needed some (or much) fiddling :-) - disable ACPI in the VM - kernel frequency at 100 hz - the vmxnet-driver (even the one from workstation 6) crashes freebsd, bu= t IIRC this driver can be replaced with e1000 in esx3.
