I just upgraded to virtualbox-ose-3.2.12 (ditto the vbox kmod port), and then tried to install a new VM. It booted from the CD fine but sysinstall reported that it couldn't find a CD drive to install from. Booting another VM that already existed showed the same problem - /dev/ad0 exists but /dev/acd0 doesn't and there's no sign of it during the device detection part of the boot. Anyone else seeing this problem? Details: The host machine is amd64, running 8.1-RELEASE-p2 GENERIC. The new VM is booting FreeBSD-8.1-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso The old VM is running i386 8.1-RELEASE-p1 GENERIC, and can't see /dev/acd0 regardless of whether or not an ISO is attached to it. -- "Although the wombat is real and the dragon is not, few know what a wombat looks like, but everyone knows what a dragon looks like." -- Avram Davidson, _Adventures in Unhistory_
