I used the RC1 cdboot to install FreeBSD in vmware on my ASUS Thunder K7 running win2k. It worked fine although it was very slow to boot (even after recompiling the kernel, it's slow). Slow is 20 or 30 minutes....I have no clue about why this is the case, but I assume once installed, it doesn't matter how it got there. I gave the virtual machine 256MB RAM and highest possible priority and it runs nicely once it succeeds in booting--quick kernel compile, and it built the locate database for 700MB of stuff in about 20 seconds.
