But, I haven't had a good experience with FreeBSD 7.0 on VirtualBox, too many kernel panics. And it's not just me there are lots of people who have had the same problem with no evident solution. I am not discouraging this solution but informing of a problem that I have faced. If there's a work around for that, I'd be happy to try it myself. -- Am I SHOPLIFTING?
