I use FreeBSD in the same way as you... never have tried to do what you want, but I remember (not 100% sure) that when you create the new virtual machine it tells you that will use: IDE Adapter: ATAPI SCSI Adapter: BusLogic /LSI Logic I guess it uses *both* interfaces although you only use an IDE virtual/physical disk/partition and the kernel tries to access it... it is like if you have a SCSI card without a CDROM/HDD connected to??? It does not let you choose to use or not SCSI, just select the type... I think the goal could be to *disable* the SCSI support on the virtual machine, not to configure the freebsd... The best option could be contact VMware tech support or forums to ask how to disable SCSI... Regards.
