I believe it's to be shipped with the FreeSBIE 1.1 release. It used to 
be on www.livebsd.com, but I think Scott (Ullrich) removed it (or I may 
be wrong). You can obviously check out its functionality for DragonFly 
BSD (the interface when installing FreeSBIE is the same).

The FreeSBIE project is at http://www.freesbie.org

Have fun! :)
