I was looking to install FreeBSD in VirtualBox on a Mac. (Funny 15 years ago I would have been laughed out of a form for even suggesting it.) Here is the info ...
Mac: OS X EI Capitan Version - 10.11.2
VirtualBox: Version - 5.0.12 r104815
FreeBSD: Version - FreeBSD-10.2-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso
Memory set to 1024 MB
HD set to 10 GB
PIIX3 Chipset (Yes I tried the other ones as well)
yes "Enable I/O APIC" is checked
after getting to the 1st options screen and pressing enter this is where the loop starts and never goes to install screen. Looks like the kernel builds and then VB reboots.
I have tried just about everything revelant I could fined but everyone has been able to get past this point except for my self. I welcome any thought and ideas.

Re: Infant loop install on VirtualBox with FreeBSD
I am having the same issue on a Windows 10 host installing PC BSD 64 bit onto VirtualBox 5.14
Have done 2 ling installs and that I all the distro wants to do.
More success that trying to boot it off of a USB stick, but not much.
