Hello all.
I'm currently made set of scripts, which builds FreeBSD from svn sources,
and packing it in VirtualBox (*.vdi) compatible images.
It's working now, and producing something like

FreeBSD-9-i386-r226409-2011-10-16.vdi.xz (also .vdi, .vdi.zip and plain .img
which can be dd to USB flash).

I'm developing this here:
https://github.com/yerenkow/freebsd-vm-image

I have more goals to do (like producing more images, with a installed sets
of packages, like KDE-from-ports, KDE-from-area51, with experimental GEM
drivers etc.)

Why I'm writing this  letter:

1. Get some help from peoples who interesting in this;
2. Introduce myself in -current (I wasn't active here before)
3. Discuss current bug behavior (or bug in my scripts/mind) of boot loader
PR/161677
4. Also, I'd like to see producing these images semi- or fully- official :)
(Lacking of virtual images to test even of major releases is not good for
project like FreeBSD.)
