I installed VirtualBox on my machine earlier this week because I needed to connect to my works VPN which requires WinXP.
I'm using FreeBSD 7.2 Stable last build on June 10th. Windows XP and Windows Server 2008 both work great.
I've only had two issues:
1) Sometimes the CD device will disappear from Vbox and the only way to get it to reappear is to reboot. I tried to unload and reload the kernel module but that locks up the machine.
2)If I use the Guest Additions my video resolution is reduced and sound doesn't work. But, when I uninstall the Guest Additions Windows loses the devices and resolution can only get to 640x480.
I've tried to install OpenBSD, OpenSolaris and Solaris in Vbox but none of those would work for me. They all error when trying to detect the HDD.
