I could be tempted to do this in VirtualBox. But looking at the virtualbox page
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Guest_OSes
FreeBSD Works partially FreeBSD 6.2 is known to cause problems.
FreeBSD 6.2 was released 3 years ago and hasn't been supported for
some time. FreeBSD 8.0 was released last November and includes
VirtualBox client and host support (I haven't tried VBox so I don't
know how stable it is).
A better resource for VirtualBox on FreeBSD would be
http://wiki.freebsd.org/VirtualBox
I'll have to take a look at that. I downloaded the file
8.0-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso
which despite the name, should be ok on my Intel W3580 3.33 GHz Xeon.
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-hardware.html
as of the FreeBSD/amd64 that
----------------------------------------------------------------
There are two classes of processors capable of running FreeBSD/amd64. The first
are AMD64 processors, including the AMD Athlon™64, AMD Athlon64-FX, AMD Opteron™
or better processors.
The second class of processors that can use FreeBSD/amd64 includes those using
the Intel® EM64T architecture. Examples of these processors include the Intel
Core™ 2 Duo, Quad, and Extreme processor families and the Intel Xeon™ 3000,
5000, and 7000 sequences of processors."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
But despite my CPU being a 3000 series Xeon, it did not work. I'll take a look
at the page you suggest, but its not high on my priorities.
