I'm trying to setup a FreeBSD VM in Virtualbox. The host OS is Mac OS X 10.6.6. I'm already running Windows 7 64 bit with no problems. When you setup a new VM, you get a first time startup scenario that asks you to point to a file (iso usually) that contains the setup program for the OS. Then, when you boot the machine, setup begins. That's not working for me. I've tried both the disc iso and the dvd iso without success. I haven't tried it, but I assume that if I burned the iso and popped it in a box that I would get the setup menu and be able to install the OS. Is there some kind of trick required to get this working inside VB? -- Paul Schmehl, Senior Infosec Analyst As if it wasn't already obvious, my opinions are my own and not those of my employer. ******************************************* "It is as useless to argue with those who have renounced the use of reason as to administer medication to the dead."
