I can only suspect that it's some part of the guest initialization that doesn't get run when you resume that does get run when you boot, and that doesn't matter on Linux (since presumably one doesn't see this when the host is a Linux box). This implies that it's a bug in vmmon, but I don't know enough about that code to make coherent suggestions. :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
