What is the status of that project if I may ask ? I did some research on
it some time ago but the best I could find was that there was someone
porting vmware-workstation 4.5.X to FreeBSD allthough there were quite a
lot problems so there wasn't much progress it seemed.
Anyway; VM's and FreeBSD don't go well indeed :( vmware3 is just
outdated, it won't work as Xen host (yet; .. it was on the SoC list,
but I'm not sure how much has become of it ) and qemu is a nice attempt
but it's just not good enough ( especially since kqemu locks up my
system in CURRENT ). It would be great if FreeBSD could be a VM-host.
