https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=210361 Bug ID: 210361 Summary: Virtual Machine images don't work with VirtualBox [.qcow file format] Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Website Assignee: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: drew@gurkowski.com VirtualBox is listed in the README file under virtual machine images on the latest release: https://www.freebsd.org/where.html. However, I was unable to get FreeBSD to boot with any of the .qcow files listed. VirtualBox doesn't have an option to boot from the file format. I was able to get VirtualBox to work with the "disc1.iso" format listed under the main section for installer images. If the release page could indicate that this is the case, it could clear up some confusion. Also (very minor note, probably not important) the README file is a bit hard to locate due to being the same style/font/color as the other links. Could be helpful to separate it for visibility. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
