I installed FreeBSD 3.2 as guest OS with NT 4 as host OS. I had no problems with the installation. Networking does work too. Only problem I have is the X screen resolution. With VGA16 it is OK but with SVGA I only get 320 x 200... The VMware Linux X-Server seems not to work ( thats what the docu says, I did not try it myself). This would probably be the solution. It would be very nice if it would even be possible to use FreeBSD as host OS, but currently only Linux and Win NT/2000 can be host OS. Then you could have Win 98 for example in a window on your FreeBSD system. I also tested Win 2000 as guest on my NT 4 box. Worked very well. For this combination you need a lot of memory though.
