I have been trying to convert a FreeBSD 6 box to a vdi image without luck.
To do so, I did the following steps, but when I attach the .vdi file to the
VM I created, I dont get by the initial boot loader.
Has anyone done anything like this ?
dd if=/dev/zero of=sz.dd bs=1024k count=20000
mdconfig -t vnode -f sz.dd
gpart create -s MBR md0
gpart add -t freebsd md0
gpart set -a active -i 1 md0
gpart bootcode -b /boot/boot0 md0
Multiboot a VM is a bit unusual. /boot/mbr is the ordinary bootcode.
If the original machine multibooted, it would probably be better as
multiple VMs.
gpart create -s BSD -n 20 md0s1
Bootcode is needed in the bsdlabel also:

gpart bootcode -b /boot/boot md0s1
