>Description:
FreeBSD does not install when running as a guest OS under VMware.
The host OS used is Win2000. Installation method is to mount
FreeBSD iso image as cdrom device and boot from it. Booting runs
wthout problems until the "Probing devices, please wait (this can
take a while)..." part. Here it hangs forever.
FreeBSD releases 4.5 and sooner installed and ran without such
problems as VMware guest OS.
The problems exist in 4.6rc1 and 4.6 RELEASE.
