Failed to install FreeBSD 13.1

Hello, community,

I'm a newcomer to VirtualBox. As I was trying to set up a FreeBSD 13.1 system running on my Windows 11, it told me a critical error occurred, and I failed to install the system.

I attached my log below. Here are some details you might find helpful:

[*] The device I'm using is a Thinkpad X13 Gen1 (AMD) with AMD Ryzen Pro 4750U and 16 GB of RAM.
[*] The system I'm running on is Windows 11 (ver. 10.0.22000)
[*] I allocated 8192MB of virtual memory along with a 32 GB fixed-size VID virtual disk.

Please help me with the problem. Appreciate it! :D

00:00:04.259703 Host RAM: 15591MB (15.2GB) total, 6319MB (6.1GB) available

6.1GB available minus 8GB allocated to VM... ain't gonna work. You need to free up host RAM, and/or add more, and/or reduce the VM to something like 4GB RAM.

Add a second CPU core while you're in there (not more), and increase graphics RAM to 128MB.

The guru meditated on VERR_NEM_IPE_3, which could happen because Hyper-V is enabled on the host OS. If Mpack's suggestions don't clear up the problem, See HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM (Hyper-V is active)
