No.
I first downloaded (ftp) the "install45.iso" (i386/32-bit) to the Vista host. Then, in VirtualBox, in the openBSD guest's CD/DVD-ROM settings, you enable "Mount the CD/DVD Drive," and enable "ISO Image File," and path to install45.iso. When you "start" the openBSD guest (virtual machine), it will "boot" the install45.iso just as if this were physical CD-ROM media in a real physical CD-ROM drive on a real physical machine. (It's very striaght forward.) From there you just follow the install as if it were from the CD-ROM, including all the distro sets. You can also do a half-and-half by downloading and "booting" "cd45.iso" (instead of install45.iso) and then getting the "rest" of any needed sets over the net. install45.iso is the whole works. cd45.iso is a skinny boot-only image. If you're on high-speed broadband, get install45.iso; it's just the easiest, especially if you end up wrestling with openBSD/VirtualBox. /S

Interoperability update: Network Adapters -- intel PRO 1000 M vs. MT
Interoperability update...
GUEST Network Adapter types: Code:
Intel PRO/1000 T Server (82543GC) /*seems to "just work" (no seg faults). */ Intel PRO/1000 MT Server (82545EM) /*emits sporadically "segment fault" errors.*/ When BRIDGING the above HOST adapter to the openBSD GUEST adapter, using the "MT" type guest adapter results in sporadic openBSD-level "seg faults." Using the "T" type guest adapter has been operating well. /S

Theo has already publicly stated that VirtualBox is horribly broken.. it doesn't emulate the x86 properly.
I cannot comprehend why people keep trying to use OpenBSD in a virtual environment.. that's like putting 50 locks on your door while keeping a window wide open. Just say no, beige boxes will always triumph in dark cold clammy corners.

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... |

Some projects recognize, learn and advance the ecosystem; other projects don't. We've agreed on the point. We've disagreed on its attitude.

Code:
-- Harry Chapin Flowers Are Red lyrics (Spoken)Your son marches to the beat of a different drummer, comer. (Spoken)But don't worry, (Spoken)We'll have him joining the parade by the end of the term The little boy went first day of school He got some crayons and started to draw He put colors all over the paper For colors was what he saw And the teacher said.. What you doin' young man I'm paintin' flowers he said She said... It's not the time for art young man And anyway flowers are green and red There's a time for everything young man And a way it should be done You've got to show concern for everyone else For you're not the only one And she said... Flowers are red young man Green leaves are green There's no need to see flowers any other way Than they way they always have been seen But the little boy said... There are so many colors in the rainbow So many colors in the morning sun So many colors in the flower and I see every one Well the teacher said.. You're sassy There's ways that things should be And you'll paint flowers the way they are So repeat after me..... And she said... Flowers are red young man Green leaves are green There's no need to see flowers any other way Than they way they always have been seen But the little boy said... There are so many colors in the rainbow So many colors in the morning sun So many colors in the flower and I see every one The teacher put him in a corner She said.. It's for your own good.. And you won't come out 'til you get it right And are responding like you should Well finally he got lonely Frightened thoughts filled his head And he went up to the teacher And this is what he said.. and he said Flowers are red, green leaves are green There's no need to see flowers any other way Than the way they always have been seen Time went by like it always does And they moved to another town And the little boy went to another school And this is what he found The teacher there was smilin' She said...Painting should be fun And there are so many colors in a flower So let's use every one But that little boy painted flowers In neat rows of green and red And when the teacher asked him why This is what he said.. and he said Flowers are red, green leaves are green There's no need to see flowers any other way Than the way they always have been seen. But there still must be a way to have our children say . . . There are so many colors in the rainbow So many colors in the morning sun So many colors in the flower and I see every one -- Harry Chapin Flowers Are Red lyrics Cheers, my forum friend. /S

Yes, revzalot. I use Qemu for network testbeds of that sort. And while my normal use of Qemu is on an OpenBSD host, I *have* run the Windows version. The biggest differences on a Windows host were:

Thanks for this great post, ..... any idea why does it tell me that /dev/console does not exist? I used all the settings you posted + dynamic space 20G... i did not fully allocated them... thanks in advance |

You DID NOT try to install the "guest tools," right. /S

Thanks for replying me, I am using 2.2.4, and I tend to give my v-machines lots of space ..just in case :P any way I will try to allocate 4GB and try one more time and btw I still did not try to install guest tools yet D: |

I just bumped my virtualbox to release 3.0.0 (from 2.2.4) and re-started my three (3) openBSD 4.5 (32-bit) guests.
Code:
-----(em0)openBSD1 openbsd2(em0) ------ (em0)openBSD3 (em1) ------- (em1) In fact, now with VT-x/AMD-V: Enabled (and working), the openBSD-as-guests network performance "feels" faster. Too early to tell (quantify) for sure. /S N.B.: fresh out of the oven, 3.0.0, released 2009/6/29.
