I am running 7.0 of vbox on a win10 host. I am going through the installer of OpenBSD 7.2. It is currently stuck at "syncing disks...". I've tried several different times now, and it seems to get hung up at the same place.

Re: OpenBSD 7.2 stuck at syncing disks in installer
7.0 is very new. Does the same thing happen under 6.1.40?
Otherwise, Start the VM from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM's OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.
Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show in Explorer/Finder/File Manager. In the "Logs" subfolder, zip the VM's "vbox.log", and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

Re: OpenBSD 7.2 stuck at syncing disks in installer
I'm using 7.0.2 and just today upgraded an OpenBSD from 7.1 to 7.2 using the installer. I couldn't get it to install until I changed the number of processors in the Settings to 2. I don't know why this worked but it's worth a try?

Interesting, Peter!peterhull90 wrote:I changed the number of processors in the Settings to 2
Changing processors to 2 then the VM works is a circumstance indicating that Hyper-V might have been enabled on the Windows host OS.

Re: OpenBSD 7.2 stuck at syncing disks in installer
Right - I know that in my case, I have enabled Hyper-V, and my problems were not the same as droidus2 (the installer would just reboot too quickly for me to read the error, if any) but I thought it was worth a shot!Hyper-V might have been enabled on the Windows host OS.
If not, at least we can say that the OpenBSD 7.2 installer can be run successfully on Windows 11 / VB 7
