I just installed (perhaps two days ago) the same guest OS on the same version of VirtualBox without a hitch but with two, or maybe three, differences: First, my host is a MacBook running OS X v10.9.1. I doubt that makes a difference since this seems to be a FreeBSD issue, not a host issue. Second, I used FreeBSD-10.0-RC5-i386-disc1.iso. That may be the difference and I'd consider giving it a try. Third, another point worth mentioning is, since this is my personal, password protected, laptop (not that it's all that hard to break into a Mac), I used an empty password for root on the guest OS. I certainly wouldn't do that for a production server, or for a host OS, but for a guest OS it's not a security issue for me. I only use the OS for testing.
