VMware

Add this to /etc/fstab
linproc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0

Then run
mount /compat/linux/proc

Also add this to /etc/sysctl.conf
# VMware
kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed=1

...and/or reboot - if you don't run: sysctl kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed=1

Now compile vmware
cd /usr/ports/emulators/vmware3
make

When network configuration is up, do the following
1) Do you want to configure vmnet interface?                        Yes
2) Do you want to use netgraph bridging?                            No
3) What will the IP address of your host on your private network?   10.0.0.11
4) What will be the netmask of your private network?                255.255.255.0

And install it
make install

Instead of rebooting, you can manually run
/usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/001.vmware.sh

...which reads the config from /usr/X11R6/etc/vmware/config

Check loaded kernel modules. It should look something like:
linux.ko
rtc.ko
vmnet.ko
vmmon_up.ko
if_tap.ko
linprocfs.ko

Start vmware from a shell
vmware &

Use the wizard to configure any OS.<br>
When network configuration is up, use the following settings:
IP address: 10.0.0.12
Netmask   : 255.255.255.0
Gateway   : 10.0.0.11
DNS server: Use from host OS /etc/resolv.conf


Install VMware-Tools from within the installed and running guest OS.

Enjoy! :)

  • + : A leading plus sign indicates that this word must be present in every object returned.
  • - : A leading minus sign indicates that this word must not be present in any row returned.
  • By default (when neither plus nor minus is specified) the word is optional, but the object that contain it will be rated higher.
  • < > : These two operators are used to change a word's contribution to the relevance value that is assigned to a row.
  • ( ) : Parentheses are used to group words into subexpressions.
  • ~ : A leading tilde acts as a negation operator, causing the word's contribution to the object relevance to be negative. It's useful for marking noise words. An object that contains such a word will be rated lower than others, but will not be excluded altogether, as it would be with the - operator.
  • * : An asterisk is the truncation operator. Unlike the other operators, it should be appended to the word, not prepended.
  • " : The phrase, that is enclosed in double quotes ", matches only objects that contain this phrase literally, as it was typed.
