How are you shutting down the OpenBSD guest when you stop VMware?
Manually?
This can be achieved with FreeBSD compt turned on this way:
halt the obsd guest then set his type to freebsd and back up install the
vmware tools:
mount /dev/cd0c /mnt
tar -xzf /mnt/vmware-freebsd-tools.tar.gz -C /tmp
mkdir -p /emul/freebsd/sbin
install -m 555 -o root -g wheel
/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib/lib/sbin32/vmware-guestd /emul/freebsd/sbin
cp -r /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib/etc /etc/vmware-tools
then tune your sysctl.conf
kern.emul.freebsd=1
Add this one to your rc.local:
if [ -x /emul/freebsd/sbin/vmware-guestd ]; then
echo -n ' vmware-tools'
/emul/freebsd/sbin/vmware-guestd --background
/var/run/vmware-guestd.pid --halt-command "/sbin/shutdown -p -h now"
fi
Now you can use vmware scripts to automate power management of your vm.
Hope this helps.
Doesn't work for me. Vmware-guestd doesn't want to run and the message
"Abort trap" is printed...
