Does 6.2 still have that time- and ACPI issue in ESX3?
I've got it running in ESX2.5, but it indeed needed some (or much)
fiddling :-)

- disable ACPI in the VM
- kernel frequency at 100 hz
- the vmxnet-driver (even the one from workstation 6) crashes freebsd, but
IIRC this driver can be replaced with e1000 in esx3.
