VMWare3 -Current Raw Device

[Benjamin Close]

Hi All,
   I'm trying to setup vmware3 on -Current with raw devices. However, I 
can't seem to correctly get it to use my hard disk as a raw device. Has 
anyone else tried and got this working?

Cheers,  
   Benjamin

vmware3 -CURRENT.

[Lewis Thompson]

Hi,

I've just CVSupped to -CURRENT in an attempt to learn more about FreeBSD
development in general.

  However, vmware3 no longer works.  I get errors about vmnet1 not
existing, yet I have the appropriate entries in /compat/linux/dev.
However, I /do/ have a vmnet4097 when I run ifconfig.

  I notice that ls -ld /compat/linux/dev/vmnet1 shows:

crw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  149, 0x0081 Mar  5 12:49 /compat/linux/dev/vmnet1

while ls -ld /dev/vmnet1 shows:

crw---  1 root  wheel  226, 0x0011 Mar  5 12:01 /dev/vmnet1

  I searched on the mailing lists and eventually found an old PR
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=48608) that seems as though
it might be relevant.

  Any suggestions?  Or am I being optimistic in thinking vmware3 will
run on -CURRENT?

P.S.
I rebuilt all of the necessary packages after the upgrade.
