Hi,

I don't have enough info or time to write the whole section, but this
bit of information might be helpful.

At the bottom of
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/virtualization-guest.html the VMware section is still empty.  Installation is pretty simple, except with respect to time synchronization.  There are two things to do to sync guest time with host time:

     1. kern.hz="100" from earlier on the same page.
     2. In the host OS, the VMware image directory, edit the vmx file
        with a text editor and add or set tools.syncTime="TRUE".


You need to have VMware tools installed and vmware-guestd running, but
between these two things you no longer need X to be installed.

Thanks.
