Для корректного отображения информации о гостевой ОС необходимо установить VMware Tools. Для установки VMware Tools необходимо присутствие следующих портов Perl  и Compat6.x .

 make install clean

1) Создаем временную директорию

mkdir vmwaretools
cd vmwaretools/

2) Монтируем CD-ROM

mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0 /media

3) Копируем архив VMware Tools в эту директорию
cp /media/vmware-freebsd-tools.tar.gz .
/media/vmware-freebsd-tools.tar.gz -> ./vmware-freebsd-tools.tar.gz

4) Разархивируем
tar xvf vmware-freebsd-tools.tar.gz

5) Запускаем скрипт установки VMware Tools
./vmware-install.pl

6) Скрипт установки задает вопросы, на которые даем утвердительные ответы, соглашаясь на предложенные варианты. Creating a new VMware Tools installer database using the tar4 format.

 For the VMware Tools for FreeBSD 9.1 it is recommended that you install the
 following packages:

xf86-video-vmware
 xf86-input-vmmouse

The easiest way to install these packages is by using pkg_add utility.  Refer
 to the man pages on how to properly use this utility.

You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take

You can now run VMware Tools by invoking "/usr/local/bin/vmware-toolbox-cmd"
 from the command line.

Please remember to configure your network by adding:
 ifconfig_vxn0="dhcp"
 to the /etc/rc.conf file and start the network with:
 /etc/netstart
 to use the vmxnet interface using DHCP.
