This is what I want to do too.

}I agree.   However, sometimes you have to do what's possible, rather
}than what you'd like.   AFAIK the FreeBSD and Linux support is

}to you that NetBSD be in control, you're pretty much stuck.   If you
}can live with NT on top, with an X server to make it look like it's
}not, then this is a solution that can work for you right now,
}aesthetically displeasing though it may be.

We all are thankful to Vladimir N. Silyaev for porting vmmon/vmnet
modules to FreeBSD.  Have a look at his page for the latest

        Unclear. My own code has a BSD-style copyright license,
        but in order to write it, I used VMware-copyrighted sources.
        In any case, I'm distributing only my own patch set, and all
        modified files retain the original copyright information.
