(addendum to prior -questions inquiry)
I found a way using Bochs (bochs.sourceforge.net). It will boot an iso image as will vmware 4.5 (others?).
I have however run into a hiccup. 4.x will boot, 5.x won't. I've submitted it as a possilbe bug to the
bochs bug tracker. If anyone in the freebsd devel community might have input it's very much appreciated.
I tested the FreeBSD port as well as the Windows port of Bochs and used the release distros I've been
collecting to make sure it wasn't a problem with my FreeSBIE image... same result. The 5.x cd boot isn't
working in Bochs...
...unless I'm doing something wrong which is certainly possible, if not likely.
