Actually, I got the same thing with RC3 the other day. But I went to try again just now and it worked. I used FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-amd64-bootonly.iso and it worked just fine. Since the first time I did install the latest version of Virtual box so not sure what changed in there, or it was something else. But the machine its on is running Windows 2008, so it did support amd64 when I had the failure. ---Mike -- ------------------- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Sentex Communications, mike@sentex.net Providing Internet services since 1994 www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada http://www.tancsa.com/
