I just installed PC-BSD 9.1-RC2 and virtualbox 4.1.22. I then installed a vm= running FreeBSD 9.1-RC2. I installed the open-vm-tools from pkg.=20 The kernel modules wouldn't load at boot. Turns out the rc.d script runs a b= inary called vmware-checkvm, which is supposed to return true if it's run in= a vm. It does not and so the rc.d script bails out before loading the kerne= l modules.=20 Running vmware-checkvm gives "unknown version" as output.=20 I haven't tried other hypervisors, but it seems that on this platform at lea= st it doesn't work properly.=20 Thanks, Josh Paetzel=
