VMWare on FreeBSD 5.4

   Hello all,


   I have loaded VMWare
 from the ports collection and now trying to
   import a Windows XP virtual
 machine from another system.  I am
   having a couple of issues though. <
   1.
 The system has 512M RAM on the system, yet VMWare only "sees"
   16M   do to
 adjust this memory ceiling?

   2. When trying to fire up the virtual
 WinXP, VMWare says that it
   cannot read the parent partition from the
 file.  I have adjusted
   permissions on all of the files in the WinXP
 directory, to no
   avail. Any ideas why this is happening, or how to fix
 / workaround?

    Anyone who has VMWare from the ports installed an   please help. Anyone with answers is more than welcome to share
   them.

   Thanks in advance,

   Ron
