Re: Screen Resolution
So have I (in fact that's how I started using FreeBSD 5.0). However the drivers
required for their emulated graphics card are only supplied for FreeBSD 4.x with
VMWare 4.5.
You can use graphic driver modules (${X11}/lib/modules/drivers/vmware_drv.o)
that is bundled with recent Xorg/XFree86, and it is (ideally) the same one
VMware supplies by VMware tools for FreeBSD.
No worries, it just works. Don't forget to set
Driver vmware
to Section Device in xorg.conf/XF86Config. You may also set
BusID PCI:0:15:0
to Device section, but if my memory serves right, it is automatically set by
driver itself.

Re: custom bootable CD /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/cdboot
I also want to know how to use cdboot, however: lansil 1 -- The boot image contains a gzipped kernel, MFS, loader, and other lansil relevant /boot stuff. The Kernel and MFS in the boot image are used to lansil mount the CD filesystem, and possibly chroot to the CD filesystem. The lansil FreeBSD install CD uses this method. The boot image shouldn't require MFS, as installation floppy does. The minimal requirement for boot image is: /boot/loader and its configulation file, kernel itself (gzipped kernel will be required, since kernel tends to be large), and that's all. You can mount CD filesystem as 'root filesystem' after booting a kernel. check -C option of boot(8) (loader(8) has same functionality, boot_cdrom but it's not described in its manpage). Be aware that this method doesn't work with recent 5-current although 4-stable works fine. *** Demonstrative bootable CD-ROM image you may want to make is available our SNAPSHOTs project: ftp://current.jp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/ISO-IMAGES/live-releng4.iso This is bootable 'live filesystem' of recent 4-stable (simply goes to the single-user mode). ... and you can easily checks '5-current kernel doesn't work with CD9660 filesystem as root' with live-current.iso.
