In order to use VMware, you must follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
1) Mount linprocfs and add an entry for it in /etc/fstab.
|
|
|
|
2) Make sure the Linux Compatibility module is loaded (use
|
|
'kldstat' to check) or built into the kernel.
|
|
|
|
3) Run '%%PREFIX%%/etc/rc.d/001.vmware.sh start'
|
|
to avoid rebooting.
|
|
|
|
4) Load the kernel module aio.ko or add it to the kernel
|
|
with 'options VFS_AIO' -- otherwise expect problems.
|
|
|
|
5) Run 'sysctl kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed=1' and add
|
|
the variable to /etc/sysctl.conf -- otherwise you will
|
|
get "Failed to initialize SVGA device" errors.
|
|
|
|
6) Start vmware with the 'vmware' command, or the wizard
|
|
with the 'vmware-wizard' command.
|
|

|
If you experience a freeze upon clicking 'Power On', try
|
|
either:
|
|
|
|
1 - Disabling ACPI support (use 'kldstat' to check) by
|
|
adding hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" to /boot/device.hints.
|
|
|
|
2 - Disabling APIC support by either removing it from the
|
|
kernel or by adding hint.apic.0.disabled="1" to
|
|
/boot/device.hints.
|
|
|
|
Consult the 'man' page or the installed documentation for
|
|
more information.
