Hello,

I'd like to install a FreeBSD (10.2 or CURRENT) system on an ESX hypervisor. I
have already some NoanoBSD images, which I can create, configure as I like and
boot on any hardware, I'd like to ask whether this is also possible with the
task I've sketched. To be precise: Can I use a NanoBSD image and convert this
into a ESX usable image?

Please CC me, I'm not subscribing the list.

Thanks in advance,
oh
