I think this is a VirtualBox problem but I'd like to see if anyone else =
in the FreeBSD community has seen this problem.  Maybe they even have a =
fix or workaround.=20

Is anyone using VirtualBox 4.3.14 to host FreeBSD amd64 guests? I'm =
doing this with VirtualBox on Mac OS X and I get one of three behaviors =
when start the FreeBSD guest:

   o The FreeBSD Guest hangs as Booting=85

   o The guest loads the kernel but panics before launching init and =
userland.

   o The guest boots fine.

I cannot correlate anything that I'm doing to the guest that makes =
VirtualBox behave this way and If I reboot the guest enough times =
eventually it starts. My machine is a Core 2 Duo Mac Mini with 8G of =
RAM. The guest has 1G of RAM. It runs FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE.

If you need more information please feel free to hit me off-list. Again, =
I think this is a VirtualBox issue.
