I can confirm that using the tools from 1.0.8 in a virtual machine with hardware version 7 on VmServer 2.0 works. (and vmware tells you to upgrade the tools, what you shouldn't do) So the wiki http://openbsd-wiki.org/index.php?title=HowTo_install_VMWare_tools could be updated. The freebsd.iso can be found in (/usr)/lib/isoimages from an 1.0.8 installation or in the tar.gz. next step would be to use the new tools and find out which libs are needed. Maybe Markus has some news tomorrow. guido
