This line of release components has been introduced after FreeBSD 9.0, if I remember correctly. What's common today hasn't been common decades ago. ;-) So if you need an older FreeBSD version in a VM, you need to use the installer image and install FreeBSD to the VM yourself. This is usually possible with all installer media (USB image, CD image) that the VM can start with ("BIOS boot" via USB or CD). Maybe check out VirtualBSD, they provided independent VM images for various FreeBSD versions (primarily intended for desktop use). Maybe you'll find older versions there? -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
