Hi,
I'm trying to get VMware 2 to work on a diskless workstation using
a bridged ethernet interface.
The system freezes and complains that the NFS server is down when
line 7 of the snippet of rc.d/vmware.sh shown below gets executed.
1 if [ X$bridged = XYES ]; then
2 kldstat -v | grep netgraph >/dev/null || kldload netgraph.ko
3 kldstat -v | grep ng_ether >/dev/null || kldload ng_ether.ko
4 kldstat -v | grep ng_bridge >/dev/null || kldload ng_bridge.ko
5 ngctl mkpeer vmnet1: bridge lower link0
6 ngctl name vmnet1:lower vmnet_bridge
7 ngctl connect vmnet_bridge: ${bridge_interface}: link1 lower
8 ngctl connect vmnet_bridge: ${bridge_interface}: link2 upper
9 ngctl msg ${bridge_interface}: setautosrc 0
10 ngctl msg ${bridge_interface}: setpromisc 1
11 ngctl msg vmnet1: setautosrc 0
12 ngctl msg vmnet1: setpromisc 1
13 fi
The system is running RELENG_4_3 of 2001/07/21 23:00 UTC, the tap
diffs are applied. Root, /usr and /home are NFS mounted and /dev,
/etc and /var are mfs mounts (as set up by rc.diskless[12]).
What puzzles me most is that everything is running fine when I do
exactly the same on the same machine with a harddisk (same kernel
and userland).
I really need bridging for this virtual machine and I'd be very
unhappy to put a disk into the machine or make root a memory disk.
Any ideas out there?
Need more info? Let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Paul Schenkeveld
