This outputs a
WARNING: driver "vmmon" used unreserved major device number 200
message, but as the vmware application really requires to use a major
of 200 (error otherwise, tested), we need to use a fixed one, and I
don't want to register a major for this.

machine causes an instant panic in the host.

Note that the OSVERSION test is inexact. The type change
happened after 500027, but since there's no 500028 yet and

advantages, chief of which is that it doesn't hose over multi-interface
configurations the way the default installation did before. This
mechanism "chains" the guest's interface to an interface specified at
installation-time (it can be changed afterwards by editing the rc.d
script).

- Add support for FreeBSD bridging facility. To use it, you need a
kernel built with `options BRIDGE'.
- Integrate vmnet and if_tap code into vmmon module.
- Install vmmon/vmnet1 pseudo-device nodes under /compat/linux/dev
instead of /dev
- Set TMPDIR to /var/tmp if empty.
- Change MAINTAINER back to Vladimir N. Silyaev <vns@delta.odessa.ua>,
now he is back and being active. :)
environment variables properly to run VMware, instead of installing it
as a symbolic link to ${PREFIX}/lib/vmware/bin/vmware.
Suggested by: Frank Mayhar <frank@exit.com>
Add $FreeBSD$ on the top of the Hints.FreeBSD file.
Add a link to the official VMware Product FAQ page.
- Mention full screen graphics mode works though it'll need due care not
to enter full screen text mode.
- Wording: vmware -> VMware
- Wording: tmpfs -> MFS
- Correspond to VMware 2.0 Build 476 release (not beta)
- Support SMP kernel
- Install VMware tools floppies (for Windows and Linux)
- Add Hints.FreeBSD
- Mention my unofficial `rtc' port on post-install
- Raw disk may not work for the present
- etc.
Enjoy it!
- Make portlint satisfy
- Avoid creating files out of WRKDIR
- Remove the void directory "patch" (What ever was this?)
- Adjust whitespace
- Fix some ungrammatical wordings
- Modify COMMENT and DESCR
- Drop fakeprocfs support due to the import of Linux procfs to the base system
- Show MESSAGE after installation
- Change maintainer to the -emulation list because:
- Vladimir seems too busy or unreachable these days
- This port depends very much on Linux compatibility stuff
- Get it to check if the system has Linux procfs module and stop if not
