I believe that VMWare for Windows creates a virtual machine that you can install *BSD, Linux, Solaris, or another Windows on. (VMWare's site does mention compatibility with FreeBSD in this fashion). I am going to be trying this soon. I know someone who has VMWare for Linux which creates a virtual machine that you can run Windows (and presumably FreeBSD, or another Linux)in. It works very well for him. I might also try getting the VMWare for Linux to work under emulation on FreeBSD. I need to run both WinNT and FreeBSD on a laptop that is not completely PAO friendly. In theory, the Virtual Machine created by VMWare is very standard and will allow things like networking to work, even though my actual card is not supported by PAO. I have installed Linux on a Mac through VirtualPC, and that worked wonderfully, I expect this should do the same.
