I don't use vmware, but you glabel the block devices and they would then be
consistent in both.

I imagine the same hardware isn't presented to FreeBSD in the VM.  You might
need to do something like have two separate xorg.conf.  Same with NIC,
except you might be able to just have two entries in rc.conf.  What does
ifconfig says on physical hw and in VM?
