Inside VirtualBox, I created a FreeBSD VM with no disks, and then attached the VHD image as a disk to this new VM. It wasn't working. However, I tried doing the same thing with the VMDK image, and that worked fine. If the new mkimg can create VHD files which import without problem into VirtualBox, that will be a huge improvement. -- Craig _______________________________________________ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
