From the README.FreeBSD that comes with VMWare:
Features currently unsupported
- Fullscreen text mode
- Mounting vmware virtual drive
- Parallel ports were never tested. However, to support bidirectional
transfers, we will need a FreeBSD version of the vmppuser driver.
And from the Hints.FreeBSD that comes with VMWare:
- Full screen text mode does not work. Don't ever do it!
- Full screen graphics mode will work, but you have to be careful e.g.
when running a DOS prompt on MS Windows. Hitting Alt+Enter will crash
VMware before you can say "Chuck!"
