Freebsd 7.2 REL & 7.2 STABLE on Virtualbox

Well, got a Intel quad core with 8 gigs of ram!
Then I have Virtualbox running about 8 OS's!
The host is Vista Home prem. Lame I know.
I cant get freebsd 7.2 REL or stable to run much at all!
Too many things to list, nor do I need to know more.
I had to give it up and install 6.4 stable for now.
 
You mean it's not running fine on the *emulator*?

I don't know how this particular emulator (Virtualbox) works as I've never used it, but emulation is a tricky business and if I want to say it briefly: emulators usually suck. Many times something runs on it but fails on real H/W. Other times it totally fails on it but runs very well on real H/W.
So why not just try it on the real thing?

I've had the same experiences as well. Usually the performance of the guest OSes is quite poor and things often break.

Yes, I do know how emulators goof stuff up.
But then again before I had the quad core,
I had at least 10 or so PCs with unix's
for days running, so I will stick with the emulators

The VirtualBox is Sun, sorta new I guess.
Maybe this will get something done now, LOL ( dreaming )

I have 7.2 stable on its own hardware also.
I just wanted it on the emulator to mess with.
no biggie,

FreeBSD is still the

King of the Round Table!

Maybe something broken in the win version of VirtualBox?

Actually I have 7.2-RELEASE running perfectly in VB under 7.2-p4 host OS.

FreeBSD 7.2 does run in VirtualBox. I have it running on my Ubuntu 9.04 desktop at work.
