| Has anyone used NetBSD as a virtualbox guest on linux?
Yes, works just fine.
| Suggestions/comments/excoriations/diatribes all welcome!
I can send kernel config files that suit vbox's "hardware" if you
want (that is, that eliminate all the stuff that simply doesn't exist),
but generic kernels work fine - both i386 and amd64 (assuming your
underlying system is 64 bit friendly, I assume.)
NetBSD doesn't support "guest additions" (I doubt OpenBSD does either, but
I have not checked) , so no shared clipboard, mouse integration, etc, but
nothing that prevents a perfectly ordinary NetBSD environment.
Until NetBSD & the nouveau driver work together happily, that's how my
laptop works (the linux underneath is really nothing more than a home for
virtualbox & NetBSD, but it would be useful for itself if I had a need for
that.)
