FreeBSD in VMWare box
If one installs FreeBSD 7.0 in a VMWare box, the answer/choicde for 'install boot manager' is this: Standard MBR ? The PC with WMware is connect to internet. Should one configure Ethernet then. If yes, what static IP parameters must one enter?? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The boot manager can be whichever you want. If you are installing on a VM, chances are you're not dual-booting it, so yes, Standard Boot Manager would be a 'good' choice. The PC with WMware is connect to internet. Should one configure Ethernet then. If yes, what static IP parameters must one enter?? This would be contingent on how you have networking set up. Do you have NAT or Bridged only? If NAT, use rc.conf with the inet address of your choice and the netmask for your NAT. -- Glen Barber If you have any trouble sounding condescending, find a Unix user to show you how it's done. --Scott Adams ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: FreeBSD in VMWare box
Hi, If one installs FreeBSD 7.0 in a VMWare box, the answer/choicde for 'install boot manager' is this: Standard MBR ? Yes, or choos not to install a boot manager. Both worked with freebsd 6.x and ESX 2.5x Should one configure Ethernet then. If yes, what static IP parameters must one enter?? The next that's available in your lan. Hth.

My PC is connected to Internet using an ADSL modem to connect to an ISP. It uses IP 10.0.0.somevalue, netmask 255.255.255.0, no gateway specified and two DNS server IP addresses which my ISP asked to use. Is this 'NAT' or 'Bridged'. Can I enter values and then what values, for host, domain, IPV4 gateway, Name server, IPV4 address, netmask in the screen presented during FreeBSD install or should i use Cancel in that screen and make changes in system files (and what changes in what system files)? -- Glen Barber If you have any trouble sounding condescending, find a Unix user to show you how it's done. --Scott Adams ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Are you using ESX server or workstation? As for the boot manager you can use it, or not. Both work. You can have the FreeBSD just use DHCP to get network settings. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
