Hello, My goal is to set up a FreeBSD (64-bit) VM on VirtualBox. I have downloaded the suggested FreeBSD release from https://www.freebsd.org/where/, resulting in a .vhd file. When creating a new VM, I am asked to provide an ISO Image. I cannot choose the .vhd file directly, so I imagine...

So I just need virtualization working with a graphical setup and network. I tried: FreeBSD host with VBox FreeBSD host with Bhyve VM-Bhyve Long history short: with VBox the vm's don't even boot, just a black screen. And with bhyve (any setup), everything works fine beside network. I'm using a...

Hi - I'm using FreeBSD 13.1 in VB 6.1.30. The guest is Win11 and I'm using shared folders. As a host, FreeBSD has access and I can create files (it's mounted rw obviously) but every file created is locked and cannot be removed, (text file busy) by the guest or the host. The guest needs to be...

Hi, I'm running FreeBSD 13.1, and have virtualbox-ose 6.1.36 installed from the pkg. The problem is that the VM manager (not the guest!) cannot open any URLs. E.g. if I select Help -> VirtualBox Web Site, I get the message Failed to open https://www.virtualbox.org. Make sure your desktop...

Sorry for this naïve question. I am trying to boot a FreeBSD virtual machine by means of VirtualBox under Liinux Devuan (Debian without system D). I downloaded a FreeBSD dvd ISO and constructed a virtual machine for it. When I start the machine as muti-user FreeBSD boots. It finishes with a...

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...

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! :-)
