Steve, thanks for the thoughtful reply. Your solution wouldn’t work for me, but it obviously does for you, so go in peace. And the answer to the question in my subject line is obviously “No”. > On Jul 28, 2016, at 10:49 PM, Steve Simon wrote: > > I have a different

Thanks, both. I use VB because it works well for what I need it for (running Linux on Win and Mac) and for me it works better than qemu in that respect. I'd rather stick to one virtualisation solution if possible. I've narrowed the problem down to the emulated ethernet card - the Intel MT

I run 9front in virtualbox, and, while I totally agree that its a waste of time to test it because they *always* break something in vbox, you're pretty safe if you stay on the 4.3 series and 5.0 series (on my end: 4.3 on freebsd is tested and 5.0 on windows is tested). I know you don't get the
