Hello, I've been trying to run vmware2 port, but all unsuccessful. The problems are numerous, and I simply don't know where to start from. Worse, none of these are in vmware FAQs, and I am curious, because I know that many run it of FreeBSD. So, the list of my gravest issues : - Raw disk type ( neither /dev/ad0 nor /linux/dev/hda ) is not recognized, and vmware refuses to start when one is present. - Boot process from win95 diskette hangs shortly after displaying 'Starting Windows...' message - Complaints that mouse is not recognized from X ( tries several types, to no awail ). - Complaints about inaccessibility of /dev/rtc ( which is nevertheless present in /linux/dev ) I tries to start the latest vmware ( version 3.2 ), but even the configure script does not work ... To my amusement, commands uname -s and perl -le 'system q(uname -s)' produce different results - the first prints Linux, and the second FreeBSD ( funny that perl -le 'print $^O' print linux ), so I gave up. Anyway, it would be very helpful if you share your ideas and knowledge, because, as I said, I have no idea where to find the clues.
