Ah! I forgot to mention this - it showed up on mine too. You need to read this /etc/rc.conf section: ==================================================== # This is the subsystem type. Valid options on Linux: # "" - nothing special # "lxc" - Linux Containers # "openvz" - Linux OpenVZ # "prefix" - Prefix # "uml" - Usermode Linux # "vserver" - Linux vserver # "xen0" - Xen0 Domain # "xenU" - XenU Domain # If this is commented out, automatic detection will be attempted. # Note that autodetection will not work in a prefix environment or in a # linux container. # # This should be set to the value representing the environment this file is # PRESENTLY in, not the virtualization the environment is capable of. #rc_sys="" rc_sys="" ==================================================== I've used the "nothing special" option, but yours might need to be something different on the VMhost. The guest would be "nothing special" I would think. (Not sure what the "prefix" is ... -- Regards, Mick
