I have been having mixed results importing booting the .vmdk and .vhd into virtualbox. I did get it to work once, but now cannot do it for some reason. I have been doing the following steps which seem like they should work, but I end up with "FATAL: No bootable medium found! System Halted" I download FreeBSD-10.0-RC5-i386-20140108-r260430.vhd VBoxManage convertdd FreeBSD-10.0-RC5-i386-20140108-r260430.vhd --format VDI rc5-i386.vdi VBoxManage createvm --name rc5i386 --ostype FreeBSD --register VBoxManage modifyvm rc5i386 --memory 1024 --ioapic on --cpus 1 --chipset ich9 --nic1 bridged --nictype1 82540EM --bridgeadapter1 em0 VBoxManage storagectl rc5i386 --name "SATA" --add sata --controller IntelAhci --portcount 4 VBoxManage storageattach "rc5i386" --storagectl "SATA" --port 0 --device 0 --type hdd --medium rc5-i386.vdi VBoxManage modifyvm rc5i386 --vrdeproperty VNCPassword="xxxxx" VBoxHeadless --startvm rc5i386 What am I missing ? ---Mike -- ------------------- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Sentex Communications, mike@sentex.net Providing Internet services since 1994 www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada http://www.tancsa.com/
