I would like to get more information about FreeBSD as a guest on VMware ESXi. I'm having some issues about performance (specially Harddisk I/O). I'd like to know which custom kernel should I compile and stuff like this. Right now I'd like to make a customize kernel to run on VMware, but I dunno exactly which devices I should choose, which ones work best on VMware. FreeBSD handbook has just a little about this, it's more about parallels and VirtualBox. if somebody else could give me a tip, I appreciate a lot that. any help is welcome. thanks in advance, Lucas.
