Task bar missed when creating PC-BSD release 9.1 64 bit VM in VMware Workstation Version 98.02 build-1031769
Hi, I am trying to create a virtual machine of PC-BSD release 9.1 64 bit in VMware Workstation Version 98.02 build-1031769 based on PCBSD9.1-x64-DVD.iso downloaded from ftp://mirrors.isc.org/pub/pcbsd/9.1/amd64/PCBSD9.1-x64-DVD.iso in Windows 7 64 bits system. The screen resolution is 1280x1024, if I chose Yes in Confirm Resolution window to keep the autodetec, then after the whole creation process finished, and login in as a created user, the task doesn't appear in the bottom below the desktop. If I powered off the VM, and changed the Display setting to Specificy monitor settings with Maximum resolution set to 1024 x 768 by Virtual Machine Settings in Workstation, and repower on the VM, then the task bar appears on the bottom below desktop. What is the issue? Did I miss anything during the VM creation? Thanks. David , and setup network configuration and installed Firefox 20.0 by AppCafe, and configured the network setting in Preference-Advanced of Firefox, and I could access Internet. Now I need to build my own customized kernel, but there is no src subdirectory in /usr, so here is my question: 1.Is there any way to install kernel source when I create the virtual machine from PCBSD9.1-x64-DVD.iso ? 2.Any BKM to get the kernel source after the Virtual Machine already created as my case now? Thanks!

I was thinking of something perhaps even simpler. Mount a second CD image with just install.cfg. Will try that and see how it works. If I was going to do lots of install PXE may be the way to go, but wondering if it is worth the effort for the handfull of times I would use it. For physicall install I will try USB.

The floppy gives the following error: Error mounting floppy fd0 (/dev/fd0) on /dist : device not configured. Just as a test I found a floopy for an old PicoBSD floppy to see if it could be read. It failed too. However, if the PicoBSD floppy image is first in the boot order it actually boots of the floppy image. Search for this issue show some old messages of people having simmilar problems, but given that they were old I wondered if the issue had been resolved. I am aware that in VMware one can create one VM and make a template. I am trying to learn sysinstall automation for the times when I will need to install FreeBSD on a physical machine instead of a VM.

Re: VMWare Workstation?
I have not yet tried this ... but has anyone gotten VMWare workstation running on FreeBSD? Of course, I don't mean running FreeBSD as a client OS in, say, Linux or Windows. But running it as the host OS. well, there is a port for it in /usr/ports/emulators and that works alright. Depending on exactly what you're doing, the free and open source qemu may be just as good of a solution. -- If I write a signature, my emails will appear more personalised. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: VMWare Workstation?
In the immortal words of Tom Vilot [EMAIL PROTECTED]... I have not yet tried this ... but has anyone gotten VMWare workstation running on FreeBSD? Of course, I don't mean running FreeBSD as a client OS in, say, Linux or Windows. But running it as the host OS. I have, until I upgraded my machine. I was running VMware workstation 3 under FreeBSD 5.2.1 without incident, however when I upgraded my machine to a P4-2.6G with HyperThreading, it stopped working because the linux emulation can't cope with SMP. If you are running a uniprocessor system it should work fine.
