Get Linux procfs ready and initialize vmmon/vmnet as follows:
|
|
|
|
${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/vmware.sh start
|
|
|
|
then you'll be ready to start vmware.
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to load the kernel module aio.ko, or
|
|
options VFS_AIO in the kernel. Otherwise expect problems.
|
|
|
|
If you have fairly recent 5.x system or running vmware3
|
|
on FreeBSD 4.x, make sure that you have sysctl
|
|
kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed set to 1, otherwise you will get
|
|
|
|
Cannot attach shared memory segment: Invalid argument.
|
|
Failed to initialize SVGA device.
|
|
|
|
errors on "Power On".
|
|
|
|
You can add the following to /etc/sysctl.conf:
|
|
--- cut here ---
|
|
kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed=1
|
|
--- cut here ---
|
|
|
|
Don't miss the documents installed:
|
|
|
|
vmware(1) ${PREFIX}/share/doc/vmware/*
