I have 2 vmwares running.  I got the second one running by creating another
vmmon with a different name but same number of characters:
	a21p% ls -l /compat/linux/dev/vmmo*
	crw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  200,   1 Jun 11 11:00 /compat/linux/dev/vmmo2
	crw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  200,   0 May  9 14:32 /compat/linux/dev/vmmon
	a21p% 
Then I ran this Perl script to patch the "vmmo2" in places of "vmmon":
	#!/usr/local/bin/perl


	open(VMWARE,"/usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmware") || die;
	open(DUP,">/usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmware.dup") || die;

	while(<VMWARE>){
	        s,/dev/vmmon,/dev/vmmo2,;
	        print DUP;
	}
	close VMWARE;
	close DUP;
	system("chmod 4555 /usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmware.dup");
Then I modified the vmware script to fire up:
	/usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmware.dup

Now I have 2 vmwares running with networking etc.  I define non-conflicting
devices and use netgraph to tie the various networks together.
