So, my work surprise for a Thursday morning is an urgent requirement to
see if we can run a set of FreeBSD machines under virtualised servers.
I have not done this before personally, but I notice from post here
that it doesnt seem uncommon, and I see Xen related commits flowing
past, so I am guessing it is doable.
So, for running 8 or 9 STABLE can anyone recommend which hypervisor
works best, and is 8 or 9 better as the OS to run ? Am doing a bit
of research myself, but nothing beats persoanl experience in these
matters!
cheers,

I have got some 8 and 9 STABLE servers running under KVM linux which works
good with either ide or scsi drives and e1000 nics or the virtio drives and
nics that use the virtio kernel modules from ports. I would recommend this.
Also the free of charge vmware server 2 on linux is doing a good job for
FreeBSD guests.
But if you are going to choose a hypervisor on bare metal for FreeBSD
guests, why not just run FreeBSD with jails?
