I suspect you are talking about VMWare ESXi (the hypervisor). If so, I'm running a dozen or so FreeBSD VMs here. Absolutely un-problematic. If you're talking about vmware workstation (or fusion), I know several people who are running freebsd on those, with no real problems. As for livecd, follow the links on freebsd.org for downloads. //Svein -- +---+--- /\ |Svein Skogen | sv...@d80.iso100.no \ / |Solberg Østli 9| PGP Key: 0xE5E76831 X|2020 Skedsmokorset | sv...@jernhuset.no / \ |Norway | PGP Key: 0xCE96CE13 | | sv...@stillbilde.net ascii | | PGP Key: 0x58CD33B6 ribbon |System Admin | svein-listm...@stillbilde.net Campaign|stillbilde.net | PGP Key: 0x22D494A4 +---+--- |msn messenger: | Mobile Phone: +47 907 03 575 |sv...@jernhuset.no | RIPE handle:SS16503-RIPE +---+--- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.

=Hi, I want to inquire if its possible to install freeBSD on vm ware? is there any live cd iso available? I've had no problems installing FreeBSD 6,7,8 as VM into ESXi 4.1 hypervisor. Latest success was using the VMWare cold converter .iso to virtualize a FreeBSD 6.2 physical machine and export it to ESXi 4.1 as VM. The trick that saves lot of pain and time post-virtualization was that we first edited /etc/fstab on the physical machine and replace the sd devices with da so FreeBSD kernel finds all the slices, then we shut it down to reboot with the cold converter. Then we look via the VMWare console of the FreeBSD VM /var/run/dmesg.boot file to see what interface the hardware probe found and fix up /etc/rc.conf. Then /etc/rc.d/netif restart /etc/rc.d/routing restart We are building a new VM with fbsd 8.1, but until then the 6.2 virtualization got us off an over-powered Pentium4 to an 8-core Xeon ESXi.
