            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.
