Hi Rajil,

> I don't seem to have that sysctl on my system. Should i create one?

  It's there:

> # sysctl -a |grep vmm
...
> hw.vmm.vmx.cap.posted_interrupts: 1
> hw.vmm.vmx.cap.virtual_interrupt_delivery: 1

  The easiest way to disable APIC virtualization is to add this line to 
/boot/loader.conf and reboot

hw.vmm.vmx.use_apic_vid="0"

(I got that wrong in the previous email; should have been zero)

  On a reboot, the above sysctl leaves should be set to 0.

later,

Peter.
