Knut,

I managed to work around this by fixing the string to VirtualBox 2.0.51_OSE"
for now, but am hitting issues in the Devices/PC/BIOS region:

kBuild: Generating PcBiosBin -
/usr/home/nolan/vbox/trunk/out/freebsd.x86/release/obj/PcBiosBin/pcbios.lst
        /usr/home/nolan/vbox/trunk/kBuild/bin/freebsd.x86/kmk_sed \
                -e  '/^[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]
000[0-9A-F]*            [[:space:]]*[a-zA-Z0-9_]*:/!d' \
                -e 's/^[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]
\(000[0-9A-F]*\)            [[:space:]]*\([a-zA-Z0-9_]*\):.*$/
DEFSYM(0x\1, "\2"),/' \
                --output
/usr/home/nolan/vbox/trunk/out/freebsd.x86/release/obj/PcBiosBin/pcbios-syms.h
\

/usr/home/nolan/vbox/trunk/out/freebsd.x86/release/obj/PcBiosBin/pcbios.lst
kBuild: biossums PcBiosBin -

Size of system BIOS is not 64KB!

It says... "Size of system BIOS is not 64KB!"

Any thoughts about that?
