Sorry for the length. I've got a spiffy fresh FreeBSD 4.x-STABLE build with the latest VMware port as of 24 July 2000. I followed the advice in /usr/local/share/doc/vmware/Hints.FreeBSD. Unfortunately, I get the following dialog box when I try to power on the virtual machine: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | VMware Workstation Error (/home/hpaul/vmware/win2000/win2000.cfg) | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | "/home/hpaul/vmware/win2000/win2000.hda" is not a recognized disk type. | | Failed to configure ide0:0. | | | | The virtual machine cannot be powered on with an unconfigured disk | | | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | ---- | | |OK| | | ---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've included my config files below. I'm sure I've made some boneheaded mistake and if someone could point it out I'd be most appreciative. Thanks in advance! Here's an expert from my win2000.log: ============================================================================== . . .
