Could well have been pilot error on my end, certainly = wouldn't be the 1st time :-/. I *think* I took all defaults except for = HDD size & amount of RAM assigned, but nothing else. I posted some = questions back in that time frame (Fall 2014), but no resolution. I'll = look at it again, it would be *sweet* if it would work fairly seamlessly = w/ 32-bit WinXP, 64-bit Win7, maybe some 64-SuSE LTS =85. I have been using VBox to run production VMs under FBSD 9.x and 10..x = for a couple years now. Some of the guests include: OpenSuSE 12 FBSD 9 and 10 Windows Server 2008 (Windows 7 kernel) Windows Server 2012 Windows 8 Pro Windows 8.1 Pro Ubunutu 14.04 LTS =85 and I=92m suer I=92m missing some :-) That is NOT to say that VBox is perfect. OpenSuSE 13 just would not work = on one specific server running FBSD 9 and (I think) VBox 4.1.x, and = there was the FBSD 9 and VBox 4.0.x system that would reliably corrupt = two specific VM=92s boot blocks, moved them to new VMDK files and the = problem stopped, never did figure our the root cause. But, in general, the combination of FBSD / ZFS / VBox has been very = stage and runs very well for me. -- Paul Kraus paul@kraus-haus.org
