So, add your voice and send them some mail... The latest update which has arrived in my inbox states the following in the changelog: o Support for FreeBSD 3.0 and 3.1 guest operating systems o Support for OpenBSD and BSD/OS 4.0 guest operating systems (experimental) Which is still not as good as host support, but it indicates they at least are willing to support us. Perhaps down the track we'll see FreeBSD host support.
