I'm attempting to install FreeBSD 8.2 AMD64 in Virtualbox from a Windows 7 64-bit host.
The installation is working perfectly up until the point where I select which ports packages I want to install. At this point, instead of showing me the ports collection, it shows me the *-freebsd-doc-20110110 packages and nothing else.
I'm thinking either this is the correct behaviour or for some reason i'm not getting a valid internet connection during the installation. However, if I ignore this issue and complete installation, I find that i'm getting a successful internet connection using ping.
Any advice / suggestion would be appreciated, thankyou for your time.
Below i've attached an image showing what I mean.
Thanks.
Jonathan.
