I am running FreeBSD-4.4-stable on my k7-700mgz. When I was running 4.4-prerelease I instaled vmware2. In the beggining of the instalation I answared "yes" to the question of if I want to use netgraph bridging. I also associate the device /dev/fxp0 to this. Later I instaled win98 and every configuration just (full screen, sound, network, samba...) went fine!! But I had a probleam that was nothing to do with vmware and I had to reinstall the hole system! I reisntaled with FreeBSD-4.3-release and upgrade imediatly to FreeBSD-4.4-stable (a week ago). Now I installed again vmware2 and did everythig just like the other time. But I am only able to boot vmware if the Ethernet adapter section has the "value" NOT INSTALLED. - If I try to configure it in the vmware configuration editor to "host only", vmware dont even boot. It says: "could not get adress for /dev/vmnet1: invalid argument, failed to configure ethernet0" - If I try to configure it in the vmware configuration editor to "bridged", vmware also dont boot. It says: "could not open /dev/vmnet0: no such file or directory, failed to configure ethernet0" - If I try to configure it in the vmware configuration editor to "custom" with /dev/vmnet1, vmware also dont boot. It says: "could not get adress for /dev/vmnet1: invalid argument, failed to configure ethernet0" Also something strange appens in the end of freebsd booting process: It say the following: ngctl: send msg: No such file or directory ngctl: send msg: No such file or directory ngctl: send msg: No such file or directory ngctl: send msg: No such file or directory I think it is related to the vmware.sh scprit that is in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ I think I tried everything that my head can think! (I also read the tutorial from freebsdenzine and that does not work for me either) Can anyone tell me something about this, please?
