I've not done this, but I'll be watching your results with interest. 
I've been thinking of doing this even though I really prefer to run 
on real hardware.  I'm especially interested in using this as a way 
to serve up cheap disk space to a cluster, but might also be 
interested in such a setup for a DECnet area router.
