Hullo all, I've got a Mac Pro I use for streaming media to an AppleTV and want to run a FreeBSD VM on the spare resources. I'm planning on using VirtualBox and have seen in more recent versions that it offers various paravirtualisation interfaces (https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch10.html#gimproviders). Setting up a new VirtualBox VM for various Linux distros seems to select different paravirtualisation interfaces, but nothing but Default for FreeBSD. To install and use FreeBSD 10.2 in VirtualBox 5, am I best off to stick with the defaults, or can I gain better performance/support by choosing a certain paravirtualisation interface? And if so which one? I know that GENERIC has Hyper-V support, so I’m wondering if that would be a sensible option… Many thanks, Ben
