Hi, I just installed the "vmware2" port on my freshly CVSup'ed and rebuilt 4.3-RC system. The port installed fine and it appears to startup just fine. My system has a SCSI CD-ROM drive and SCSI CD-RW, both of which work just fine under FreeBSD. VMWare doesn't seem to be able to access the CD-ROM drive, with the device entry changed to /dev/cd0c. I haven't investigated any other "features" like networking although I expect that will work fine. Does anyone have a SCSI CD-ROM drive accessible from within a VMWare virtual machine? There didn't seem any mention of this at http://www.mindspring.com/~vsilyaev/vmware/, I sort of need this so I can easily install the guest OS. Many thanks, Shaun.
