Hi,

I installed the vmware-module and vmware-2.04 from
the current pkgsrc. But when i reboot my system it 
gives some errors, when it tries to load the
modules

Starting vmmon
Module loaded as ID 0
mknod: invalid major number
chmod: /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory
Starting vmnet
Module loaded as ID 1
mknod: invalid major number
mknod: invalid major number
mknod: invalid major number
mknod: invalid major number
chmod: /dev/vmnet0: No such file or directory
chmod: /dev/vmnet1: No such file or directory
chmod: /dev/vmnet2: No such file or directory
chmod: /dev/vmnet3: No such file or directory
Starting vmnetif
/dev/vmnet1: No such file or directory

If i do a modstat i see that the modules are loaded

Type    Id  Off Loadaddr Size Info     Rev Module Name
DEV       0 -65442 cb6b9000 0018 cb6bcb80   1 vmmon
DEV       1 -65441 cb6bf000 0008 cb6c0b60   1 vmnet

I think he tries to make a device at -65442 0

Anyone got an idea, i'm running out of them.

I'm running 
NetBSD vilya.pqdot.net 1.6I NetBSD 1.6I (VILYA) #0: Sat Oct 12 01:31:03 UTC 2002     root@vilya.pqdot.net:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/VILYA i386
 
With LKM and linux emulation support
