Anyone tried 5.5 on 6.x yet? .. or the time-limited beta (expires
~July) of VMware server (free! at

I have the same question. I've been looking at porting the 5.5 vmmon
module, but haven't had time yet to start. All I really need is the
ability to run an existing vmware image. And no, qemu and xen and
all that is not an option.
You're entitled to your POV, of course. But I dare say that *on
FreeBSD* Qemu (w/ kqemu) is far better than any build of vmware I've
ever seen. Any reason why qemu is "not an option"?
Referring to VMWare 5, QEMU+KQEMU is much slower than VMWare until the
-kernel-kqemu option[1] is complete. This is ignoring VMWare 5's very
quick snapshot functionality. I use dd to "snapshot" QEMU images.
I keep hoping Parallels[2] will release a FreeBSD host for their
workstation product, which is only $50.
