  • 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 :-)
