FreeBSD as a guest OS on virtualbox

C

conix

Hi,

I've installed FreeBSD as a guest OS on virtualbox (host os: OS X). However I cannot seem to get the console to resize when I maximize the window, when I try this with a linux guest the console resizes to whatever window size. Might be clear from the screenshot attached, leaves the space pointed by the arrows all-around the console. This is the first time I'm using a "virtualbox". How do I fix this. I would like to have the console fill the complete window when I resize the virtualbox window.

Thanks.

Set it to "scale mode" from the menu. Machine/Switch to Scale Mode, or Host-C, usually right-ctrl-C.

Thanks, this did help me in scaling it but the font is all messed up. anyway something is better than nothing.

SSH into it. Or install X on your guest.

I've X installed. when I do a [cmd=]startx[/cmd] the window becomes much larger and I've to use the scroll bar to move up and down.

I've to figure which option to go with. Thanks for the replies.
