As far as i'm aware FreeBSD doesnt support Linux LVM (it uses vinum
and/or gvinum, dont know much about it as never used it)
Freebsd Runs fine as a guest OS in Xen apparently which might be better
for you as VMWare player needs a vmware image (easy to find on google I
expect but still..) and you dont get to play with the installer that way ;)
