I would like to correct the information I send before.
After I rebooted my machine once more (by starting vmware :( ) I had to realize, that the vmware.sh stop/start procedure is obviously not always sufficient.
Without starting any applications I opened a Terminal window and started vmware and it got up without booting my box.
So I suppose the problem is somewhere else. But I would still like to know how I can influence the load order of kernel modules, even if it does not solve my problem ;)
best wishes, Stefan

Hi all,
first of all about the background of my question: if I start vmware (version 2 from the ports tree) on my FreeBSD 4.8 system, the system reboots :(( I found that if I restart /usr/local/etc/rc.d/vmware.sh (stop, start) the kernel module vmmon gets unloaded and loaded again and I get a new order in the kldstat list (see below). I am wondering how I can influence the initial load order of kernel modules, because the problem with vmware my disappear if vmmon is always loaded after if_tap.ko (which is also part of the vmware.sh script, but which does not unload by vmware.sh stop).
Thanks for you help, Stefan
