It is easy for me as an outsider to see that this can be viewed from the opposite angle: "VirtualBox is just another virtualization solution for FreeBSD. We are sorry that the VirtualBox team can't find any time to provide the necessary documentation. Currently FreeBSD don't have any developers with enough free time to figure things out from the documentation available now. You see - it is simply a manpower problem." I do hope I'm wrong, and that some FreeBSD developer will work on this. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway
