10.0 under VMware Fusion 6.0.4 fails installation

F

forrie

The installation crashes partway through at the beginning of the installation. I searched the 'net and didn't find anything obvious.

This is on a Mac Pro (cylinder) with plenty of resources (6 cores, 32gb RAM, 1TB SSD disk).

The installation method was ZFS.

Anyone else encounter this problem -- or am I running into an incompatibility?


Thanks.
 
What kind of "hardware" did you give the virtual machine? What version of FreeBSD? Which image? And did you verify the checksum of the image before using it?
 
The virtual hardware provided is 2 64-bit processors, 1Gig RAM, the MD5 checksum is fine. Gave it about 25GB of space (is that enough).

The version of FreeBSD is 10.0 (in the Subject line).


Thanks.
 
I'm running FreeBSD 10 on VMware Fusion 6 (latest update) as I type.

Try a default installation without ZFS and see if you have better luck. The installer crashing sounds disk related.
