Hi,

A happy new year!

Thank you for your porting of VirtualBox 3.1.2.
I have just tested as follows:

Host OS:
   - FreeBSD 9-current
Guest OS:
  - FreeBSD 8R, now compiling 9-current.
  - Cent OS 5.4 I386

These are very good.  But as Mr. Goto said, I could not
load kernel module for guest FreeBSD.

Best regards,
Hideki Yamamoto
