Actually this is what I tried, and still got the error. Today, I shall
attempt an ftp install.

Yep. Me too. I googled this and it appears to be a known
issue with the IDE CDROM driver in 6.0


One way to work around the problem is to connect the virtual
CD to the FreeBSD ISO image instead of burning an actual CD.

Another is to do an FTP install using FileZilla or some other
FTP server program on the host Windows system.

All in all VMWare really is a pretty cool way to experiment
with different FreeBSD installs before committing to a real
box!

Cheers, Ralph

Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a vmware problem or a 
freebsd one?


All help appreciated, cheers,
