freebsd stable - Nov 2005 - Problems with 6.0-release inside vmware 5

Hi,

    I tried to install a vmware 5 virtual machine with 6.0-RELEASE, using
physical partitions.  In this mode, even ATA disks appear as SCSI to the guest
system.  In VMWARE ghest, this also means a buslogic mpt controller.

    Up to 5.4-stable, this worked ok.  But at 6.0-release, the mpt controller is
detectd, but no disk is found.  Any hints?

    TIA,

		Jonny

I have 6.0 working under VMWare 5.0 using physical partitions.
When you add a new disk you are given an advanced option where you can
specify IDE or SCSI. VMWare by default goes SCSI, so you must have
missed it as it's very common to happen.
