Description Travis Poppe 2006-02-06 01:40:04 UTC
I've discovered that the instant freezes when clicking 'Power On' can be fixed by disabling 
APIC support. ACPI support, on or off, didn't seem to solve anything. I'd like to know whether
or not disabling ACPI has actually helped anyone at all, as it could be removed from the 
pkg-message if not.

I've reflected this in a completely re-worked, step-by-step, more clear pkg-message file.
 I've also added a wrapper script for the vmware wizard, mentioned it in the pkg-message, 
and fixed various portlint complaints.

For some reason, the wizard cannot be launched from within VMware itself. I have no idea
as to what causes this.
