I just finished installing FreeBSD6.0-Beta3 under VMWare 5. The installation 
completes flawlessly, if you boot from the CD image, then install everything 
via FTP instead of using the CD. Installation from CD causes the same panic 
you mentioned. I haven't noticed any other problems, X is up and running, 
everything I tested so far worked as it should.
I hope this helps a bit :)
