I ran m0n0wall from a vitrual disk. I found it out on some site. I ran it on vitrual PC and virtual server. I had no trouble getting it configured and running. the trick was picking the correct ethernet adapter. I ended up using a intel dual port ethernet adapter. It worked like a charm. I have not had any issues My current m0n0wall server is a c3 giga pro with 2 - 3com ethernet adapters. It is working like a charm. I think the biggest issue is find or having on hand a compatible ethernet adapters.
