VirtualBSD: FreeBSD 7.1 Desktop in a VM

Want to try FreeBSD 7.1 in a comfortable, graphical desktop, via a VMWare VM? If your answer is yes, visit www.virtualbsd.info and download their 1.5 GB VM. I tried it last night and got it working with VMware 1.0.8 by making the following adjustments:

Edit VirtualBSD.vmx to say

#virtualHW.version = "6"
virtualHW.version = "4"

and VirtualBSD.vmdk to say

#ddb.virtualHWVersion = "6"
ddb.virtualHWVersion = "4"

and you will be able to use the VM on VMware Server 1.0.8.
