I was never able to get a full working fbsd boot->vbox boot->vm box sequence working automatically (I also knew a lot less about virtualization then so it might be just confused memory that makes me believe this is not possible)... either way if you can either send me the scripts or post them and I can intergrate them into petitecloud I will be asking about how to send you $50. -- Aryeh M.
