Booting RC5 via VirtualBox

2014-01-16 Thread Mike Tancsa 
I have been having mixed results importing booting the .vmdk and .vhd
into virtualbox.  I did get it to work once, but now cannot do it for
some reason.  I have been doing the following steps which seem like they
should work, but I end up with
FATAL:  No bootable medium found! System Halted

I download  FreeBSD-10.0-RC5-i386-20140108-r260430.vhd


VBoxManage convertdd FreeBSD-10.0-RC5-i386-20140108-r260430.vhd --format
VDI rc5-i386.vdi

VBoxManage createvm --name rc5i386 --ostype FreeBSD --register

VBoxManage modifyvm rc5i386 --memory 1024 --ioapic on --cpus 1 --chipset
ich9 --nic1 bridged --nictype1 82540EM --bridgeadapter1 em0

VBoxManage storagectl rc5i386 --name SATA --add sata --controller
IntelAhci --portcount 4

VBoxManage storageattach rc5i386 --storagectl SATA --port 0 --device
0 --type hdd --medium rc5-i386.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm rc5i386 --vrdeproperty VNCPassword=x
VBoxHeadless --startvm rc5i386


What am I missing ?

OK, next problem. If I set the disks to SATA, doing something simple
like an SVN checkout causes all sorts of disk errors and then a panic.
If I instead set the controller to just IDE, all is OK.

What is the optimal chipset and driver config for FreeBSD as a host and
guest ?


For me, leaving everything at the default was best.  I don't know if it 
affects performance.

Defaults should be preferred and you should try to avoid ICH9. I was told
from upstream that ich9 is still not the default because it just doesn't
work reliable enough in all cases. So be carefull with that.
