Confirming, from my side. My laptop has 6GB RAM, and besides, there was not much disk activity a tthe moment of the hang. I think the merssh command is not able to complete. My question is... shouldn't there be a virtualbox "mersdk" instance available before invoking the merssh command? Because the virtualbox manager does not show a configuration for it. Is there a guide to set it up manually? The .vdi is installed anyway, I might be able to complete the installation manually (or at least build my projects with the command line tools) if the virtual box machine is configured correctly. I tried creating a machine on my own with the mersdk.vdi, and it boots... but I do not know how to set it up so that i can connect to it/share the source partition.
