I am trying to make vmware virtual machine boot from the physical Windows partition instead of the virtual filesystem. Did anyone have any success with such setup? I've tried to repeat the steps in Hints.FreeBSD file that is distributed with the port, and vmware gets as far as starting and asking to choose the partition to boot, but when I hit F1 (to select Windows), vmware just sits there and does nothing. Many thanks, Vladimir
