After that, fire up the VM and see what happens on the screen. If the ISO is for a network install, it should "see" the interface and ask for an IP. After that it should start pulling whatever it needs to complete the install. -- Mario Lobo http://www.mallavoodoo.com.br FreeBSD since 2.2.8 [not Pro-Audio....
