You may have problems with FreeBSD-7.1 and linux_base-f9.
Welcome to emulation@ mail list.

 When i run sudo rpm -i --ignoreos --dbpath /lib/var/rpm --root

We don't use linux rpm database, it's behaviour is undefined,
untested and unsupported.

 /compat/linux vmware-server..rpm i get this:
 /bin/sh is needed to vmware-server..rpm,
 but there`s /bin/sh and /compat/linux/bin/sh.
 What does it mean, and what i need to do to resolve this problem?

You may do it like this:
-
# cd /compat/linux
# rpm2cpio your_rpm_file | cpio -id --quiet
-

You'd better create a port and use it to install/deinstall
that rpm file.

Good day to everybody,
I have a problem with installation vmware-server 2 for linux on my 
freebsd 7.1. i install it from rpm. before it, i installed 
linux_base_f9, load linux.ko, mount linprocfs.
When i run sudo rpm -i --ignoreos --dbpath /lib/var/rpm --root 
/compat/linux vmware-server..rpm i get this:

/bin/sh is needed to vmware-server..rpm,
