Benedict Reuschling <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|New |In Progress CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #1 from Benedict Reuschling <[email protected]> --- I just verified it. Downloaded the qcow2 10.3. image, extracted it from the xz and created a new VirtualBox VM using that qcow2 file as the underlying disk. After starting the VM I get: FATAL: Could not read from the boot medium! System halted. A quick search on the web revealed this: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=75859 The issue seems to be with VirtualBox, not FreeBSD. To convert your qcow2 image to VDI, which you can then import as a new VM in VirtualBox, open a console and enter this: VBoxManage convertfromraw --format vdi /path/to/FreeBSD-10.3-RELEASE-amd64.qcow2 /output/path/FreeBSD-10.3-RELEASE-amd64.vdi We should think about providing VDI (or any other format) files instead of QCOW until VirtualBox fully supports running that format. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-doc To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
