I'm attempting to set up FreeBSD 4.4 on VMware Workstation 8 to setup a JunOS lab. I've seen numerous guides that show how to do so, however, every time I boot up FBSD FreeBSD after installation there is no "em0" detected. I've verified that the NIC is set to be "e1000" in the .vmx file, so the hardware should be compatible with FBSD FreeBSD 4.4. Running "dmesg | grep em0" returns nothing.
I've seen screenshots posted online of people running supposedly the same setup andFBSD FreeBSD 4 detects the NIC just fine. It may be worth noting that I'm using the minimal CD, however, that's what everyone else used in creating their guides that I'm following.
I suspected perhaps the VMware hardware version (v8) was causing issues, however, changing the vHardware to v6/7 didn't help.
I'm at a loss for where to go from here. I have no BSD experience but am an intermediate Linux user in addition to being a Windows pro.
Thanks for any help!
