OK, I tried mfsbsd. I had the iso loaded at ata1 master and 
freebsd-8.2-dvd as ata1 slave.
I booted my VM; mfsbsd came up fine. I mounted my fbsd dvd drive on 
/cdrom and tried to run the zfsinstall script. Alas, it refuses.. It 
can't find the (needed!) 8.2-RELEASE.???tgz file It does not exist. 
There is only a directory 8.2-RELEASE (on DVD as well as on CDROM ). 
Question: is this a bug in zfsinstall script?
How do I work around it?
