Boot menu (F12) broken in VB 3.2.x?

Post by jorgie »

Has anyone else observed that the boot menu (F12) seems to be broken on VirtualBox 3.2.x on Solaris 10 hosts?

I've seen it with 3.2.4 and 3.2.6 and I am using a Solaris 10 Update 8 host. It works just fine for me in 3.1.8. It seems to pop up for a millisecond when I press F12 but then immediately begins to boot the OS I have installed on the VM's hard disk (or complains about no bootable medium for new VMs with no OS installed yet).

Hmm. I'll give OpenSolaris a shot (although I'm ultimately needing to use on on Solaris 10 u8)...but maybe it's just a Solaris 10 thing? Again, same computer, same OS install, 3.1.8 works, 3.2.x doesn't...
