I'm running 4.x-STABLE as of last week, and I installed the latest VMware port. I'm having a little trouble which I'm pretty sure is just me missing something. The hostname, set in /etc/rc.conf is hpaullap. /root/.vmware/license is a symlink to /home/hpaul/.vmware/license which is a valid license I purchased from VMware. When I start VMware as root I get the following message box: =================================================== This computer doesn't have a valid host name (gethostbyname() failed) yet it tries to lock remote file /root/.vmware/preferences.

In the configuration wizard I told it I want to run FreeBSD on an existing physical disk. I went through the rest of the setup wizard without any obvious problems. However, when I hit the Power On button I get the following message box. =================================================== Could not open /usr/local/lib/vmware/lib/vmm (No such file or directory). =================================================== When I hit OK, everything except the Power On button is greyed out.

These are critical issues for those of us having deployed FreeBSD widely and if we cannot get this kind of stuff working ``soon'' our users will probably force us to switch to Linux.

I can raise its priority, but that doesn't say anything really. I can make promises, but I know for sure I'm going to break them at this time, so that doesn't help either. I suggest you keep the issue alive on the mailinglist by regularly posting findings and things you've tried (or didn't try). -- Marcel Moolenaar mail: marcel@cup.hp.com / marcel@FreeBSD.org tel: (408) 447-4222 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-emulation Fri Jul 14 13: 8:55 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Received: from zmail6.easynet.fr (email.easynet.fr [195.114.64.207]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 6BEA037B8DF for ; Fri, 14 Jul 2000 13:08:48 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from fonvi@easynet.fr) Received: (qmail 42850 invoked from network); 14 Jul 2000 20:08:42 -0000 Received: from mailgate3.easynet.fr (192.168.1.4) by mailserver.easynet.fr with QMQP; 14 Jul 2000 20:08:42 -0000 Received: from adsl-92-1-170.pops.easynet.fr (HELO marduk.styx.org) (212.11.34.170) by mrelay3.easynet.fr with SMTP; 14 Jul 2000 20:08:42 -0000 Received: (from marc@localhost) by marduk.styx.org (8.9.3/8.9.3/ - 6/08/98) id WAA11139 for freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org; Fri, 14 Jul 2000 22:08:45 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from marc) Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2000 22:08:44 +0200 From: Marc Fonvieille To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Subject: mounting plain disk when vmware isn't running.

I've read the file Hints.FreeBSD, but i don't understand this explanation: - The vmware-mount.pl utility does not work. If you want to mount the "disk" while VMware is not running, you must use plain disks instead of virtual ones. Set up a 63 sector file as an "mbr" section, then a file for each partition on the "plain" disk. To mount the "disk", use vnconfig -c /dev/vn__ file and then mount the vn device. Any advice?
