In a fresh install of FreeBSD-13.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso in VirtualBox 6.1.32 (Ubuntu 20.04.4 host), I wanted to increase the console dimensions and console font size, so I followed the instructions here: How to increase vt console size in VirtualBox image. (Note: that post uses the FreeBSD...

Below, why are there log entries for PIIX3 when the controller is set to PIIX4? I have been trying (amongst other things) to boot this 12.⋯ guest temporarily in safe mode. Neither of the commands below seem to be effective – note the multiple CPUs, above, in htop: nextboot -o...

I'm trying to build a multi-router setup in VirtualBox using FreeBSD machines as the routers. I have two VMs, router-1 and router-2, which are on the same subnet and are able to ping one another. router-1 has a bridge interface with the host machine and is able to ping the wider internet. It...

Can a FreeBSD host run both bhyve vms and VirtualBox vms at the same time? ... would really appreciate a reply from someone before I spent time trying to find out. Thanks! :-)

These are the steps taken to reproduce the error (host is Windows 10): Open Oracle Virtualbox and create a new virtual machine, FreeBSD 64 bits. Choose to add virtual drive later. Download prebuilt image disk "FreeBSD-13.0-RELEASE-amd64.vhd". Attach the disk to the virtual machine. Start the...

Excuse me if this is a noobish question, but this is the first time I'm using FreeBSD after purchasing a QOTOM and installing pfSense on it. Context: The QOTOM PC I bought for my home office has shiny specs, and I intended to use the spare power to use it as my Kubernetes master (but without...

Why not ZFS by default? Images are compressed before distribution. I assume that compression is very effective for: non-used space (free, never used) in file systems non-used swap space. Why is there so little free space in the file system for the base OS? Why is so little of the disk given...

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=254458#c5 offers some detail. Bugged guests include the FreeBSD-provided virtual disk for FreeBSD 13.0-RC5. For me, the bug seems to be consistently reproducible with a FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT host. Please, can anyone tell whether the bug is...

Hello, I've been using FreeBSD and VirtualBox for many years to run Windows guest in a safe environment. The guest systems run normally in the bridged mode, until including FreeBSD 11.4 I had no problems to do this. But with starting with FreeBSD 12, the VMs are running perfectly in NAT mode...

I'm running Virtualbox 5.2.44_3 on FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE and everything is working fine until I create a jail and use vnets for the networking on the jails. I'm using iocage for jail management. I've followed the handbook for setting up a bridged interface for jails and my bridge interface...

Hi there, so here's an issue I have with VirtualBox on FreeBSD, and I don't hear any sound playing on the guest systems at all. I need some suggestions to solve this issue.

I don't have any new computer for FreeBSD. So I use virtual machine on Windows 10. The problem is that the latest virtualbox-ose-additions is for Virtualbox 5.x and guest additions for vmware is discontinued, so vmware says that I should use open vm tools. However, it only supports Freebsd 11...

I'm running a Freebsd 12.1 in virtualbox on a win10 host. Guest additions, kmod installed. Followed the handbook; https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/virtualization-guest-virtualbox.html Mounted a shared folder. Files pre-existing in that folder can be deleted. New files can be created...

I just created a video tutorial for doing a base install of FreeBSD 12.1 in VirtualBox as part of a set of tutorials for my students taking systems programming. Here's the link for the curious, and or the critics: Installing a basic FreeBSD 12.1 system in VritualBox. Warning, it's 53 minutes...

I am playing around with VMs and installed 12.1 in VirtualBox 6.1.12 on MacOS 10.14.6 (Mojave). I installed FreeBSD (surely there's a shorthand for this - maybe fbsd?) 12.1 and fired it up with EFI checked (EFI video console is more reasonable). I did a base install and booted into FreeBSD. I...
