************************************************************
In order to use VMware, you must follow these steps:

1) Mount linprocfs and add an entry for it in /etc/fstab.

2) Make sure the Linux Compatibility module is loaded (use
   'kldstat' to check) or built into the kernel.

3) Run '%%PREFIX%%/etc/rc.d/001.vmware.sh start'
   to avoid rebooting.

4) Load the kernel module aio.ko or add it to the kernel 
   with 'options VFS_AIO' -- otherwise expect problems.

5) Run 'sysctl kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed=1' and add 
   the variable to /etc/sysctl.conf -- otherwise you will
   get "Failed to initialize SVGA device" errors.

6) Start vmware with the 'vmware' command, or the wizard
   with the 'vmware-wizard' command.

                    * * * IMPORTANT * * *

If you experience a freeze upon clicking 'Power On', try
either:

 1 - Disabling ACPI support (use 'kldstat' to check) by
     adding hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" to /boot/device.hints. 

 2 - Disabling APIC support by either removing it from the
     kernel or by adding hint.apic.0.disabled="1" to 
    /boot/device.hints.

Consult the 'man' page or the installed documentation for
more information.
