Hey guys !

It seems there's a little hope to make progress with FreeBSD on EC2, as Amazon posted this announcement : http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2010/07/use-your-own-kernel-with-amazon-ec2.html 

I couldn't read the documentation about how to do this but they say "You could (if you are sufficiently adept) use this facility to launch an operating system that we don't support directly (e.g. FreeBSD). If you manage to do this, please feel free to let me know".

Does anyone knows how to do this actually ? Or is this really possible ? 

I've been waiting for an FreeBSD ec2 image for years now ! I know there's a lot of persons waiting also around so if anyone knows how to make this happen, please post somehting !!!!

Thanks !
Z.
