I am trying to install Windows Server 2008R2 as a guest on my FreeBSD 9.0 host. I have followed all the instructions in the wiki namely:
Quote:
atapicam kernel module needs to be loaded via /boot/loader.conf:
Code:
atapicam_load="YES"
HAL has to run at the moment so enable it in /etc/rc.conf and start it if not yet done:
Code:
hald_enable="YES"
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald start
Your account needs permissions to access /dev/xpt0, /dev/cdN and /dev/passN so add this to /etc/devfs.conf:
Code:
perm cd0 0660
perm xpt0 0660
perm pass0 0660

This is the error that I get. I am running this as a normal user. I just installed Virtual Box from ports after updating my ports tree. The version is 4.1.12_OSE r77245
Code:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine windows2k8.
Cannot open host device '/dev/cd0' for read/write access. Check the permissions of that device (VERR_ACCESS_DENIED).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {1968b7d3-e3bf-4ceb-99e0-cb7c913317bb}
I have tried playing with the permissions and owner myself even going to far as to
chmod 777 and change the owner to
vboxusers but still no luck. Any thoughts on where to look, I am somewhat knew to
FreeBSD but have been using Linux for over 10 years.
