Virtualizing FreeBSD...

Hi,

Anyone got any recommended / "works for them" advice on what's the best 
virtualization platform to run FreeBSD under? (apart from FreeBSD itself) - 
we're looking for something commercial / with management etc. (e.g. 
HyperV/ESXi etc.)

We've got some experience running it under VMware - but are looking for one 
that offers good driver support (i.e. not 'emulated hardware' for NIC / 
disks)?

The experience we've had so far hasn't been brilliant from an I/O point of 
view (hence the push to find out who/what supports FreeBSD better for I/O 
drivers) - there's only so far an emulated E1000 can go :)

Thanks,

-Karl
