How about OpenBSD?- this Bug report[1] is rather old and still not fixed. So if I can help in some way to fix this bug - please let me know.

I installed VB 1.3.8 on a computer running CentOS 4 yesterday, and I tried installing both NetBSD 3.1 and OpenBSD 4.0 on it. Both failed, spitting out segmentation faults and errors about not being able to write to the disk. I also tried both dynamic and fixed disks images.chb wrote:How about OpenBSD?- this Bug report[1] is rather old and still not fixed. So if I can help in some way to fix this bug - please let me know.

Here's some output from my attempt at installing OpenBSD:
This is using a VM with 64 MB RAM and a roughly 750 MB hard disk image.(I)nstall, (U)pgrade or (S)hell? i

Working But...
As mentioned before, ~80-90% CPU utilization
Also excess ram consumption. I gave the guest 384MB ram and i was looking at about 700MB ram used. I dropped it down to 256MB and i am still seeing 700MB Used.
Running FreeBSD 6.2 as guest and Fedora 7 as host. Virtualbox 1.4.0
I have a Gig or ram and a 2.0 GZ Pentium M and a 128MB ATI card.
Anyone know if shared folders work?

shares
Thanks. Is there any plan to make FreeBSD or other Unicies to support the shared folder and other benefits?
BTW, I was able to drop my CPU utilization for a Gentoo Linux guest OS from ~80-90% down to ~2-5% by recompiling the kernel and setting the timer frequency down to 100Hz instead of 1KHz. FYI...
