Description
No functional impact.
When pfSense-CE-2.4.2-RELEASE-amd64.ova is deployed and booted on an ESXi 6.5u1 host, the VMware web UI displays the warning:
"The configured guest OS (FreeBSD (64-bit)) for this virtual machine does not match the guest that is currently running (FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p4). You should specify the correct guest OS to allow for guest-specific optimizations.
Have not verified behaviour post-upgrade yet, but based on the error, can reasonably predict it will persist.
Root problem is actually in the OpenVMtools package, maybe, I'm not sure where/how to categorize this

Oops. Can someone fix my typo in the title, please?

Confirming that it occurs (as expected) in 2.4.2_1. Warning text does not change.

OVA was discontinued some time ago, and this particular error has been solved in recent ESX/vmware tools versions anyhow.
