I should have tried this before my previous mail, but . . . I changed it
to type ps/2; chose device as /dev/mouse (this is the same as
/dev/sysmouse but seems more sensible since I'm not running moused), and
sure enough, it got rid of the requester.  Thanks.

As for my networking, I reverted to the older port of vmware (the one
from the 4.2-RELEASE), and that fixed my problem with not being able to
network to the host _at_all_.  I'm just going to do this the
"old-fashioned way" and set up IP forwarding rules on the host myself. 
My experimentation with bridging and all that has been a disaster and a
*huge* waste of time, so I'll just do the way I did it on Linux.

And I gather that nobody's figued out how to turn off /dev/rtc by
default?  I tried denying non-root users read permission, or granting
them write permission, to /compat/linux/dev/rtc, but that didn't stop
the 100% CPU problem.
