The critical thing is that the loader must read the kernel (and modules, 
config etc..) from a disk the BIOS knows about.

After that you can use any device the kernel knows about.

As for the virtual device aspect - could you use a geom class to do you 
want? It's hard to say without an overview of what you actually want to 
achieve :)
