I have been trying to convert a FreeBSD 6 box to a vdi image without luck. To do so, I did the following steps, but when I attach the .vdi file to the VM I created, I dont get by the initial boot loader. Has anyone done anything like this ? dd if=/dev/zero of=sz.dd bs=1024k count=20000 mdconfig -t vnode -f sz.dd gpart create -s MBR md0 gpart add -t freebsd md0 gpart set -a active -i 1 md0 gpart bootcode -b /boot/boot0 md0 gpart create -s BSD -n 20 md0s1 gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -s 1G md0s1 gpart add -t freebsd-swap -s 1G md0s1 gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -s 2G md0s1 gpart add -t freebsd-ufs md0s1 newfs -U -O2 /dev/md0s1a newfs -U -O2 /dev/md0s1d newfs -U -O2 /dev/md0s1e mkdir /mnt/root mkdir /mnt/usr mkdir /mnt/var mount /dev/md0s1a /mnt/root/ mount /dev/md0s1d /mnt/var mount /dev/md0s1e /mnt/usr cd /mnt/root gzcat ~sz/dump-root0.gz | restore -rf - cd /mnt/usr gzcat ~sz/dump-usr0.gz | restore -rf - cd /mnt/var gzcat ~sz/dump-var0.gz | restore -rf - umount /mnt/root umount /mnt/var umount /mnt/usr mdconfig -d -u -0 Then lets convert the file VBoxManage convertfromraw szocke.dd szocke.vdi --format VDI When I try to then boot the VM, it just gets stuck at the "Default F1" and when I hit F1, just # symbols appear.
