I have two questions regarding the configuration of vmware2 on a machine running FreeBSD-current/SMP (with 2 PIII processors). First, I run a scsi-only system. I have an Intel DK440LX mobo, and it has dual Adaptec scsi busses. I have two cdroms in it right now, one a reader, the other r/w. The configuration wizard wanted me to pick a device in /compat/linux/dev, but none of the ones in there are my cd0 and cd1. I know how to use mknod, but I'm not sure that's the right thing to do for scsi compatibility. Does anyone know. In fact, is there any specific option I should be setting in my kernel config file to support this? I already have COMPAT_LINUX, and (in general) linux stuff runs just dandy, which is why I decided to try this neat toy. Last question: the first time I brought vmware up, it asked me the location of about 5 executeables (I remember that 'less' was one of them). I answered with their correct full path locations, UNTIL I got to one that I didn't recognize, I think it was something like "insmon" I went thru the sources trying to find real hard where this was called out (I grepped for less, and just couldn't find a hit that looked right, although there were a hundred uses of "flawless" all right :-) I can't get any more specific, but anyone recognize this, and know how to react to it? When I start up vmware, it comes up with 5 small windows telling me that it couldn't find an executeable (I wish it would say which one!) I haven't yet got thru the vmware-wizard, because when I couldn't answer the cdrom question, I cancelled it out.
