I installed VMware 4.5.2 on my laptop, I was able to install FreeBSD

15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle". So I did the FreeBSD -> DF 
upgrade, 


It's best to use IDE disk emulation with vmware & the BSDs. I don't 
know if SCSI disk emulation is the default in 4.5, but on 4.0, when 
using custom mode (without really customizing anything...), I usually 
end up with the IDE emulation. 
It was set with IDE emulation, and to make sure I created another VM to 
make sure, same problem. FreeBSD - 4.9 still boots fine.
I was able to install FreeBSD -> DF upgrade and remove all SCSI options 
from the kernel and it will boot now.

With some help I got some output from the debugger. This is from the 
RC-1 disk.
