Unfortunately, the OSE edition of VirtualBox doesn't support USB pass-through, and that is the only edition available on FreeBSD ATM. As for serial ports, I've only used the "virtual" type connected to a guest VM; I set things up according to the VirtualBox manual... > i was reading the documentation. not much there...=A0 how about managemen= t, > data backup and recovery? real time vm swaps? > I use the machine snapshot feature frequently. Although for machine backup, I'm currently using software that installs on the guest itself. I'm interested in hearing about other users' methods as well... VirtualBox supports a form of live migration which they call "Teleportation", but again, I haven't any experience using it :( -Brandon
