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. Jim Durham To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
