1) USB passthru does not work reliable on FreeBSD hosts yet (FreeBSD guests
on Linux/Windows should be fine)
2) Shared Folders for FreeBSD guests are not supported yet. There was a Google
Summer of Code project that did not finish last year. There is some
draft code and
a kernel module for it but it's not working yet. Shared Folders
support for Linux/
Windows Guests on FreeBSD hosts are working fine.
