I guessed that 192MB RAM assigned to VM was insufficient. This has been already reported for FB 9.1 recently. Next problem: the installation's dmesg shows net driver em0, which is Intel PRO/1000 - and this is how install offers to configure the network; but my host has Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5787M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express, which is bge0 driver in FB. How to force it to discover the right net device during install, and/or after install ? Next problem: I selected powerd service during install, but after boot, there was error msg: starting powerd powerd lookup freq: No such file or directory /etc/rc: WARNING failed to start powerd Next problem: when I am logged out from FB, and I do (I tested it repeatedly) Machine-Close-Power off the machine to cloce VM with FB, then on subsequent VM Start and FB reboot I get error msgs: ... Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ada0s1a [rw]... WARNING: / was not properly dismounted ... Starting file system checks: ** SU+J Recovering /dev/ada0s1a ... but when I do Machine-Close-Send the shutdown signal there are no errors, just normal msgs: ...
