Description
I´m running VirtualBox v1.6 on a Windows XP SP2 Host here.
Guest was PC-BSD v1.5 x86 as well as PC-BSD v1.5 x64
PC-BSD dies during the installation (see attached screen shot).
Seems to me that PC-BSD is unable to load the shell. I tried both Free-BSD as well as None/Unknown for the Guest OS. None of them seems to work.
The problem seems not to be related to the Host CPU. I tried at home (Opteron 170 with 2GB RAM) as well as at work (Core2 Duo T7500 with 2GB RAM).
I tried both SATA as well as EIDE for the virtual HDD but this didn´t help either.
Sorry to say but VMWare Server 1.0.4 installs and runs PC-BSD fine on my work PC. Installation worked like a charm without any hickups and the FreeBSD VMWare extensions work fine for PC-BSD.

Is this bug still relevant with VirtualBox 2.0.2?

No response, closing. When installing BSD, activate VT-x/AMD-V.
One additional comment: When selecting SATA for the virtual HDD PC-BSD was unable to access the HDD. I experienced the same thing when installing Ubunut 8.04 from DVD image. May be the SATA emulation causes problems ?!?!?
