Notes on installing VMWare Tools for FreeBSD on ESXi 4.1 Quick explanation: FreeBSD is not officially supported platform hence why the OS is listed as 'other' when creating a new Virtual Machine. However, the tools are contained withing the ESXi distribution, and here are the steps to install them. 1. Power on the virtual machine. 2. Select "Connect/disconnect the CD/DVD devices of the virtual machine" -> "Connect to ISO image on a datastore" (Select disconnect if was previously connect to a different ISO) -> Select "vmimages" -> "vmtools" -> "freebsd.iso" 3. Launch "Virtual Machine Console" or establish a SSH connection to client, and login as user "root". 4. Mount the CD/DVD device: #mount /cdrom 5. Extract the VMWare tools: #cd /tmp && tar xzvf /cdrom/vmware-freebsd-tools.tar.gz && rm vmware-freebsd-tools.tar.gz 6. If the compat6x libraries were not previously installed, install them: #cd /usr/ports/misc/compat6x && make install distclean 7. Run VMWare Tools installer: #cd /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib && ./vmware-install.pl 8.
