While the port builds and installs fine, a /dev/rtc device never appears. ISTM that the rtc device does a make_dev as part of the device open() rather than at module load and that vmware doesn't work like that. Having no kernel (module) hacking experience, I come to the list for pointers. I am trying to wrap my head around rtc enough to try make_dev() at module load time, but maybe someone can give me a hint as to what's going on. I'm breaking the rules and running an old -CURRENT from Feb 4, 2002, so I'll humbly swallow suggestions that I upgrade.
