BSD Guest OS

[Felix001]

On using VMware workstaition it allows you to select BSD as an OS. But in ESXi it does not, is there any reason for this.....??

VMware workstation use for devlopment and testing might be that is the resone and in ESX you can select other because it not matter because hardware selection on your hand and hardware is fix for virtual machine

Hello,

Moved to Virtual Machine and Guest OS forum.

Check out http://pubs.vmware.com/guestnotes/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm for help with getting FreeBSD installed. If you are using OpenBSD much is the same. If you are using another variant of BSD you may be out of luck but start with the FreeBSD methods.
