https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D210361 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 ima= ges. If the release page could indicate that this is the case, it could clear up some confusion.=20=20 Also (very minor note, probably not important) the README file is a bit har= d to locate due to being the same style/font/color as the other links. Could be helpful to separate it for visibility. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
