Hello there!

[Please keep me in Cc:]

I tried to run FreeBSD 4.4-20011128-STABLE as a guest system under VMWare. 
However, this failed. The host system is Linux RedHat 7.1 (2.4.2-2 kernel), 
VMWare is VMware Workstation protocol=6 build=build-1455 product='3.0.0 
build-1455'. The machine is P3-800 (Coppermine), ASUS CUSL2-C, 128Mb.

Configuration is no SCSI devices, 3000Mb virtual disk as primary master, 
CDROM ISO image as secondary master, floppy adapter, 64Mb of memory available 
to guest system, 'FreeBSD' and 'Other' were tried as a guest OS type.

When I boot the 4.4-STABLE ISO image, it enters sysinstall. I'm able to set 
anything in 'custom' installation type; but when I press 'commit', it 
successfully performs newfs on the disk, then shows "Starting emergency 
holographic shell on VTY4" and panics.

The last output on VTY2 is:
DEBUG: Generating /etc/fstab file
