There do not appear to be any concise definitive instructions for setting
up vmware2 on FreeBSD.
Most seem to say that one should specify netgraph bridging while building
VMWare but host-only networking when configuring a virtual machine.
I've done that (and every other possible combination, I think!) but still
no joy. It's closer than it was but now hangs _after_ the virtual machine
has apparently started to boot (menu buttons change, etc) with:
Could not get interface address for vmnet1: Cannot assign requested
address. Failed to configure ethernet0
This is after following another bit of advice to make sure the IP address
assigned to vmnet1 is not in use anywhere else.
Any hints to get me to the promised land?
----
Another weird problem is that vmware refuses to start with 'Cannot open
display' every time I start X ... I have to use /stand/sysinstall to edit
my XFree86 config and change the screen specs, then restart X and restart
vmware for it to be happy. this happens every time. I'm thinking I'll have
to write a script to do it automatically ... :(
Thanks,
Nick
