Nice :)
It works for me on -current/i386 (but they have all done so) however it=20
did crash after I started the new VBox (I unloaded the old KLD, loaded=20
the new one, start VM -> crash). Unfortunately X was running so it just=20
reset with no crash dump.

However the guest addition stuff didn't work properly for me..
I ran make config and selected it, vbox built, but at install time I=20
got..
/bin/chmod 0711 /usr/local/lib/virtualbox/VBoxSVC
/bin/chmod 0711 /usr/local/lib/virtualbox/VBoxXPCOMIPCD
install  -o root -g wheel -m=20
444 /usr/ports/distfiles/VBoxGuestAdditions_2.2.2.iso /usr/local/lib/virtua=
lbox/
install: /usr/ports/distfiles/VBoxGuestAdditions_2.2.2.iso: No such file=20
or directory
*** Error code 71

Stop in /usr/home/darius/projects/virtualbox.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/home/darius/projects/virtualbox.

and that file is missing, if I do make fetch it doesn't download it=20
either.
If I do make fetch WITH_GUESTADDITIONS=3D it does download it.

Are there plans (or patches :) for adding other types of network=20
support? NAT is usable but without the ability to forward ports it=20
makes logging in via SSH rather tedious (ie log out from the VM with -R=20
then log back in).

Thanks for your work thus far, it's a very handy tool :)
