I've been experimenting with FreeBSD on EC2, in the hopes that I can
move some systems there. I'm pleased with the possibilities, but have a
two initial questions:
First, the t1.micro instance, which I'm starting with, is supposed to
have 10 GB of EBS storage--1GB for the kernel on the boot
on the FreeBSD side, but I am unable to
even create the vbox0 interface:
---
# ifconfig vbox0 create
ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE2: Invalid argument
---
Googling hasn't been much help. How do I get this done?
Thanks.
