We each run our own KVM (I have no other details at present). I've been running FreeBSD 7.3 inside my KVM (everyone else is running Linux. I encountered a problem when I tried to upgrade the install from 7.2-stable to 7.3-stable. The boot process hangs. The last thing shown is the memory in the system. I'll copy/paste from /var/log/messages to demonstrate the point last thing I can see on the VNC screen. Copyright (c) 1992-2009 The FreeBSD Project.
