I've had 5-CURRENT (around 5.1.X at the time) running without issues 
under VMWare.  There are one or two configuration gotchas which can be 
found on the VMWare support forum site or googled....adding back in a 
'FreeBSD' token basically for the OS type...which is virtually the same 
as the existing Linux OS config...
