Looks like this email didn't make it to the mailing list. I've not tried the solution yet, but I figured everyone would like to see this. James.

I found that the cause is 'cdevsw_add' call, which seems like required to register device before. so I did: % cd /usr/ports/emulators/(rtc|vmware2) % make configure % grep -r 'cdevsw_add' work/* and replaced all 'error = cdevsw_add' by 'error = 0', then % make all install and VMware2 works fine for me again. but a warning message : WARNING: driver "vmmon" used unreserved major device number 200 is displayed when vmmon.ko is loaded. so this might not be a right solution, but it worked for me. hope this helps.
