I have a up-to-date FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE (as of today) with a newly installed kernel and linux emulation port. I'm trying to start up VMWare using an existing disk, but it keeps complaining about having a bad disk label or something, and i notice that it is trying to access wdXsYZ even though i use the new adXsYZ format. I also notice that in /compat/linux/dev i only have hda, hdb, etc with no slice entries... maybe this is significant? Anyway, if anyone can offer any advice on how to get VMWare to work with existing disks, i'd appreciate it.
