I'd love to see VMWARE-Server support as well.  I'm getting a brand new box
and would love to have FreeBSD as the base OS on it, but need vmware-server
to support some of what I want to do, and the amd64 version of FreeBSD would
be the target host.

I can't contribute a lot of cash, but would be willing to help test.

Thanks!
