I'm trying to determine whether VMWare2 supports concurrent
guest OSes under FreeBSD 4.3 ?
I have an application where I need to be able to run a DOS program
that will not run in a Windows DOS box concurrently with Windows.
When I bring up the 2nd OS (Dos) , I get an error asking whether
the vmmon kernel module is loaded, and the 2nd OS does not run.
I read one article that indicted that this was because
/compat/linux/dev/vmmon would not support multiple opens.
I can't get a clear idea from the mail archives I've read or the docs.
From the man page:
Thus multiple OSes may run simultaneously on
the same machine: one of them (the host OS) on the real hardware, the
others (the guest OSes) inside vmware.
The "others" would indicate to me that this should be possible.
