And, if not, can someone suggest a good tool that will allow me to create an ISO from a VirtualBox build? Or, if this makes any sense, of building an ISO from a running FreeBSD system, irrelevant of VirtualBox? I happened to be in Dallas late last year and arranged a site visit and meeting with our SoftLayer contacts. We discussed this precise issue, and they had a suggestion for loading a custom ISO. We haven't yet explored the issue because so far we only use physical machines for FreeBSD, but here are some links they gave me: http://knowledgelayer.softlayer.com/procedure/import-image http://knowledgelayer.softlayer.com/articles/access-and-securely-store-isos http://knowledgelayer.softlayer.com/procedure/mount-iso-ipmiview-0 I'm looking forward to trying it out when we get to it. Overall, we have had excellent service from SoftLayer - both technical and account-related. HTH, Greg.
