Max Khon cd70341924 Patch for FreeBSD 4.x was updated (now Power On always works as expected).
Point to new patch location.

************************************************************
Get Linux procfs ready and initialize vmmon/vmnet as follows:
${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/vmware.sh start
then you'll be ready to start vmware.
Don't forget to load the kernel module aio.ko, or
options VFS_AIO in the kernel. Otherwise expect problems.
If you have fairly recent 5.x system or running vmware3
on FreeBSD 4.x, make sure that you have sysctl
kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed set to 1, otherwise you will get
Cannot attach shared memory segment: Invalid argument.
Failed to initialize SVGA device.
errors on "Power On".
You can add the following to /etc/sysctl.conf:
--- cut here ---
kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed=1
--- cut here ---
