So I got DSM 6 (6.0.1-7393) working (volumes stay mounted).
Here's a VMware VM if anyone wants to try it.
You can use VMware Player to run it.
Just add a new SATA hard drive before booting.
If you want console access, use PuTTY to connect to the named pipe \\.\pipe\com_1 (speed 115200) to connect to the VM's serial port.
This is pretty much it: add a SATA disk, boot and go to http://find.synology.com, configure and you're done.
