You can all but try. Thx for the answer; this is how the running VM sees the disk: # fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 6442 MB, 6442450944 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 783 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 5 40131 83 Linux /dev/sda2 6 68 506047+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda3 69 783 5743237+ 83 Linux maybe it is an idea to just punch the complete disk /dev/sda with dd(1) to a file outside the VM and convert/use this with Qemu? > better place to have asked maybe is the qemu malling list available on qemu.org this is not a mailing list, but a BBS with web interface; I asked there already other stuff in the past w/o any answers; but will do give it a try again; > have you (anyone?) tried running VMware Player under FreeBSD's linux emulation? not me; matthias -- Matthias Apitz Manager Technical Support - OCLC GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e - w http://www.oclc.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/ b http://gurucubano.blogspot.com/ Don't top-post, read RFC1855 http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1855.html
