Hello everyone, Another virtualization problem: I tried installing FreeBSD 10.2 STABLE for Amd64 into a Virtual Box (version 4.3.30 on Mac OSX 10.6.8), and ran into trouble. I have had the same problem with both dvd and cd images. The checksums matched, but neither image can boot the installer, giving this message: /boot/kernel/kernel text=0xfc7f48 readin failed elf64_loadimage: read failed can't load file '/boot/kernel/kernel': input/output error Error while including /boot/menu.rc, in the line: menu-display / Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt. Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel]... /boot/kernel/kernel text=0xfc7f48 readin failed elf64_loadimage: read failed can't load 'kernel' This is the message given by the CD image; I am pretty sure the DVD gave the same errors, but I have since deleted the dvd image. I have looked around online, and haven't been able to find anything on this. I have tried different settings for the VM, and get the same thing. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, John
