> I install vmware2 from ports of my FreeBSD 4.1-release.All things I have resolved. But there is a thing I can't resolve: when I run vmware and when I push "Power On" Button, it say: > > can't open /proc/cpuinfo > > and I can't to use vmware any more! > > I think this is FreeBSD's errror, but how can I do now?! There is not a file named cpuinfo in /proc directory! and this directory is Read-Only. > > How can I do? can you help me? You need to enable the linux procfs support and mount it. Add the following line to your /etc/fstab: linproc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 Which will mount it at reboot. To mount it immediately without restarting, type: "mount /compat/linux/proc"-- both of these should be done as root. You will notice that /compat/linux/proc/cpuinfo now exists and vmware/vmware2 will work. The directory is read-only because it's not a real directory, but a set of calls to the kernel which report the process and CPU information. Good luck, --Rick C.
