ALL Oracle-built VirtualBoxes dies on the same disk ops

[VitRom]

Well, the best case description is "bying Sun VB by Oracle" but it's a very complex system bug ;) so let's concentrate on an accessible details:

All VB bulds after the lastest Sun build (3.1.8) have exacltly the same buggy behaviour with a FreeBSD-7-based pfSense 1.2.3 -- the VM dies on start of the disk partitioning.

Steps 2 re:

1. get and extract a current stable install (pfSense-1.2.3-RELEASE-LiveCD-Installer.iso.gz) iso of pfSense from ​http://www.pfsense.org/mirror.php?section=downloads

2. Make a quick defaulted VM with a maximum of defaults, with a 1Gb expandable disk and downloaded iso as cdrom.

3. Boot VM, press Enter (default boot) then I (installer mode)

4. On installer screen choose "Accept this" and then "Quick/Easy" and proceed

5. VM died

This happens regardless of any storage-related VM settings like an adapter caching or p3/p4 controller type or anything else on an all releases after a Suns lastest.
