Do take note, however, that they broke raw disk devices somewhere
between the last
release candidate and the final 2.0 version. Also:

1. The rtc module on that site has a bug that will cause a kernel trap
on reboot if you
never open the rtc device. The fix is to check for sc==NULL in one spot.
See the patch
in http://people.freebsd.org/~nsayer/rtc.pat

2. The port on that site does not copy the floppies directory, which is
necessary for
their vmware tools installation procedure.
