Package: kfreebsd-image-9-amd64
Version: 9.0-12
Severity: important
I tried to install kfreebsd-amd64 (d-i beta4 and d-i rc1 images) in VirtualBox
4.2.6. The machine type is set to "BSD", "FreeBSD (64-bit)", VT-x is enabled,
IO APIC is enabled.
If I set the chipset to ICH9, the FreeBSD 9 kernel will hang on boot (in the
installer or in the installed system) after "md0: Preloaded image <mfsroot.gz>"
(if USB is enabled, there will also be two messages about USB after this one).
If I attach drives to an ICH6 IDE controller or to a SATA AHCI controller, the
installer doesn't see the CD drive.
It's important to note that by default VirtualBox creates FreeBSD machines with
working PIIX3 chipset and PIIX4 IDE controller, but the user is not prevented
from changing that and after changing it is impossible to know which ones are
default. The documentation discourages enabling ICH9 chipset for non-OS X
machines (but this is not clear from the GUI and it usually works for recent
Linux and Windows), but doesn't say anything about ICH6 IDE.
Also, you can install the system (using the "Default install") which then won't
boot because apparently different kernels are used and because the "non-9"
kernel *doesn't* hang on ICH9.
