Can you install *other* Guest OSes under VBox on these hosts ?

I have been running lots of 9.0 VMs under VBox with only minor issues :-)

Does anyone know how to install FreeBSD 8.3 under Virtual Box 4.2.6?

2013-02-28 Thread Richard Sharpe
Hi,

I booted the FreeBSD 8.3 DVD1 under Virtual Box, but it crashes in VB
4.2.6 under Win 7 and Linux.

Seems to install OK on QEMU/VMM under Linux ...

Does anyone know how to get it to run under Virtual Box?

Ensure firmware settings (i.e. BIOS) allow for hw virtualization.
You don't specify if you are attempting i386 or amd64.
VB needs to know if you're running a 32 bit or 64 bit guest OS.

A higher degree of details would be nice.

Thanks Trond. I assume you mean the host here. Since it has installed
under QEMU/vmm on Linux, I guess that I have HW Virtualization
enabled. Actually, I know that this is the case, since I have run
OpenIndianna under Virtual Box as well as Windows Server 2008.

 You don't specify if you are attempting i386 or amd64.

True. AMD64. Maybe I need to check that.

 VB needs to know if you're running a 32 bit or 64 bit guest OS.
