Hello All,
this is the first time I post to this list, so please welcome me
;-)
I'm not really sure freebsd-newbies list is right place for this
question. Just in case: sorry for possible offtopic...
FreeBSD 5.1 stops on install in VMWare Workstation (3.2.0.2230 -
release) virtual machine when extracting packages (in
arbitrary "places"). When installing 5.1 on Connectix (now MS)
Virtual PC (5.1.370) all pass fine.
4.7 installs normally on VMWare-3...
I tried various combinations of IDE access modes which VMWare3 BIOS
allows - the same problem.
Configuration of both VMs (VMWare and VPC) is:
- 80 MB RAM;
- 4 GB IDE virtual HDD;
- virtual CD-ROM (ISO image): installation source.
I couldn't check subj with new releases of VMs because my CPU
(Intel Pentium-I MMX 266 MHz) doesn't support instructions they
using.
This is not so big problem, but VMWare ("virtualizator")
runs faster than VPC (emulator) does.
Has anyone meet this problem?
Best regards,
Nolaf mailto:nolaf@mail.ru
