Tittel: Getting FreeBSD 5.3 (and later) to run under VMware ESX 2.5.1
Skrevet av: ATC på 27. ſeptember 2008, 18:24 pm

Getting FreeBSD 5.3 to run under VMware ESX 2.5.1 presents two major problems:

1) During boot, the VM crashes because of an "unknown operation"
2) During install, FreeBSD says "No disks found"

1) Edit the machine.vmx file manually and add these two lines:
acpi.present="FALSE"
monitor_control.disable_apic="TRUE"

2) Then change the line
scsi0.virtualDev = "vmxbuslogic"
to read
scsi0.virtualDev = "vmxlsilogic"

FreeBSD should now boot the install CD properly and detect the virtual hard disk.
Thanks to RoboDoc for figuring this out :-)
