When installing vmware2, I recommend "netgraph bridging" (which
I think you have selected). But after that install, when you go
to create virtual machines, then in the VMware preferences for
that virtual machine you want to say "host-only networking".
When running vmware2 on freebsd-current, there is also an
oversight in the port. It does not know how to set things
up for a system which is using "devfs" (and that is the
default on -current). You need to:
cd /compat/linux/dev
rm vmnet1
ln -s /dev/vmnet1
rm rtc
ln -s /dev/rtc
You'll then have to reboot, so the initialization of vmnet1
will be done correctly.
