You may wish to read that page again.  Dom0 support doesn't exist in
FreeBSD, and paravirt domU is sketchy at best.

Your virtualization options are VirtualBox or FreeBSD jails.  There's
another container based method that's experimental somewhere too.

Changing your root shell is asking for trouble.  There's a FAQ on it, and
hundreds of threads of misery.
