Open VMtools are installed and running nicely (beta version). I'll try the 
latest ESXi500-201207001 update to see of that clears up some of the CPU pegs.

I am not a newbie to PFS, and been using it since v1.02.

I recently installed VMWARE 5.0 ESX on a beefy Dell T610. 4 NIC's and separated 
a WAN NIC for PFSense per the install doc for the VMWARE concept. It sees the 
NIC as an E1000.  When I got it running under the ISO mounted CD, I have had 
great success, and it runs with little overhead. I ran a snapshot at this point 
(thank you VMWARE for this feature).  When I install it to the datastore (as 
PFSense says - install to local hard drive under option 99), the CPU pegs at 
100% for no reason when it is completed after a reboot. I reverted to the PRE 
hard drive install, and back to very minimal CPU usage.

Any suggestions?
