  • The ticket is still open and unresolved.
  • I'm quoting the project leaders views on virutalization, hardly an unreliable source or parroting.

Running OpenBSD in a VM makes OpenBSD vulnerable to bugs in the VM code, it can lead both developers and users down the wrong path.

Low cost, Low power x86 hardware exists.. I do understand that embedded Atom and Via Nano processors use very little power.

IMHO, real hardware is always a better option, virtualization will simply never quite cut it.. and considering the developers will not take any VM bug reports seriously, you're essentially using an unsupported setup.

Take care...
