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.

	I've also bitten by this.
	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.
