Re: Problems with 4.5 as a KVM guest
4.6 or -current is working fine in VirtualBox too but still some weird things : 1) X use vesa driver 2) If you switch from one console to another then your console will be with somewhat red/brown background 3) If you reboot then during boot your OpenBSD will stop on mtrr(4) driver. if you just shutdown your machine and then start it again then no problem.
