Is there an open source virutal machine software that I can use to run freebsd on my gentoo machine?

Thanks

There was one called Plex86 I think, but development halted due to lack of funding I think - also there is a program called Bochs which might also apply.

I haven't tried either of them though, so don't kill me.

QEMU
really nice prog, also good working. there´s a howto on the forums (or maybe on the wiki) for setting up qemu with win98, /me thinks you can use that for freebsd too.

Bochs is a whole x86 processor implemented in c++, which is slow but makes it portable and a very isolated environment.
