If you create it as a fixed size, it works just fine. I've used it a dev/test environment for quite some time. -B

I run VMWare Fusion on one of those highly overpriced laptops from the well known phone^Wtoy company, with a bunch of OS'es (beats carrying a bunch of laptops). OpenBSD runs just fine.

If not what is the VB is broken. They're patching the kernel on the fly and seem to miss the right spot depending on the phase of the moon or whatever.
