I just tested with a centos6 vm on a KVM hypervisor. wget -O /boot/mfsbsd.iso http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/iso/mfsbsd-8.2-zfsv28-amd64.iso yum -y install syslinux cp /usr/share/syslinux/memdisk /boot add the following to the bottom of /boot/grub/grub.conf title fbsd root (hd0,0) kernel /memdisk iso initrd /mfsbsd.iso and make that the active entry in grub, and voila a freebsd system running from a memory disk, with DHCP and sshd allowing a root login to do what you want with the host system. As i said, I can confirm that works on a Centos5 KVM hypervisor if starting from a centos6 VM, I havent tested further. The downside is that its DHCP not a static IP (I assume you can recompile the mfsbsd image to do what you want it to.) and as I dont use grub much i dont know if you can set the mfsbsd iso to be a one time boot in case of issues. you could also try http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2008-01-29-depenguinator-2.0.html dont know if that still works.
