Hm, it doesn't seem to have quite the same "signature" - I din't check ps output as completely as you did, but I'm pretty sure I had only two processes, both showing up as just "VirtualBox" with no args. And of course I'm on 7.2-RELEASE, which I believe works fine for others. And the "pretty sure" etc is because now the problem is suddenly not reproducible anymore - it appears to have gone away completely. The only thing that I can think of that may be related is that I've now run VBoxHeadless a few times (not possible until you have a VM of course). And now I'm already addicted to VirtualBox:-), so don't want to remove everything and start over just to test that theory... However I'll probably install on another box in the not-too-distant future, I may be able to check it out there. Anyway, many thanks to all of you that have put in all the hard work to make VirtualBox a reality on FreeBSD - and just in time, with qemu close to unusable at least for me without the kernel module.
