Hi! Trying to upgrade to 5.0 fails with a kernel panic (vmt0, see dmesg below). Previous 4.9 worked fine, also 5.0 bsd.rd boots (dmesg below too).
The VMware Tools driver seems to miss something - "vmt0: failed to open backdoor RPC channel (TCLO protocol)" - which is correct, as OpenBSD is _not_ run inside a VMware virtual machine but in a Linux KVM (Kernel 3.0.4, qemu-kvm 0.15.1). Is this a known problem? Searching for vmt on misc@ did not show anything. Below is the dmesg output, captured via a virtual serial device.
