Well, I keep banging my head against this, as time permits... This is just meant as some more info to ponder, once someone has some time to look into this. Hopefully I'm not seeming like too much of a pest.

As I understand the kernel config in -current, DEVFS is now the default, and you'll get it unless you specify 'options NODEVFS'. I have not specified that, so I assume I have DEVFS. After building a pretty recent current, this is all I have for the vmware-related devices: (27) ls -l /dev/vm* crw------- 1 root wheel 200, 0 Feb 22 23:11 /dev/vmmon (28) ls -l /usr/compat/linux/dev/vm* crw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 200, 0 Feb 22 23:07 /usr/compat/linux/dev/vmmon crw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 149, 0x00010001 Feb 22 23:07 /usr/compat/linux/dev/vmnet1 No symlinks anywhere, and no /dev/vmnet at all... -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
