Installing FreeBSD in Parallels Desktop 10 with parallels-tools

[Rasaki Temidire]

Hello,

I successfully installed FreeBSD 10 in a Parallels Desktop 10 VM on my MacBook Pro. Then I installed the emulators/parallels-tools from ports yet I see no options for folder sharing or the different view modes (Coherence, Modality, etc.) or mouse integration between the VM and Mac OS X 10.10. Has anyone out there successfully installed the parallels-tools port (version 0.1.2_1) and has file sharing and other Parallels Desktop Tools functions working?

Thanks for the help.

If you look at the emulators/parallels-tools code, you'll see that it simply creates an if_vmnet.ko kernel loadable module.

To actually use it, I believe you will need to compile a custom kernel and remove the if_em() network driver.

Thanks for this information. I forgot to update the thread. I thought there were other things happening in that port installation. How do you access the HFS+ folders on your OS X (10.11) host?

I'm not sure you can... I cannot check now as I have wiped OS X and installed FreeBSD on the drive instead
