FBSD 8.10 And VirtualBox 3.1
in [FreeBSD]
|
From: Tim Daneliuk on 18 Dec 2009 11:50 I have a machine running Win/XP Pro SP3 hosting VirtualBox 3.1. The hardware happily boots the Ubuntu amd64 CDROM natively and FreeBSD 8.0 also boots fine - well ... up to the point where it has to ID the hard drive, but that's another story. IOW, the hardware is 64-bit capable (It is an Intel mobo w/a Pentium-D 940 w/EMT64 option). HOWEVER, when I run VirtualBox and try to install the 64 bit version of FreeBSD in a VM, it get a "CPU doesn't support long mode" error during the FreeBSD virtual booting process. FreeBSD 8.0 i386 works fine. 'Anyone run across this before and/or have a fix?

Not me, but some suggest it involves enabling virtualization settings in the BIOS: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/2061 -- Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota * USA

I managed (though I was not difficult either) to install FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE under SUN-VirtualBox 3.1.2 running on Debian. First, the bare minimalistic install filled up most of dynamic/virtual disk which was on a common vfat/msdosfs partition. So I had cancel the install and start with a fresh/empty virtual disk, but this time on an ext4 partition :) It is strange that bare minimalistic FreeBSD has consumed 4.1G; it has installed a bunch of useless documents of the whole world ;) No X, XFCE, GNOME, KDE and, or other useful apps as yet. Whereas, if you just want to compare the same with others who provide all the stuff for daily use on a 700M CD's, here follows a listing: [bsd(a)mon HardDisks]$ ls -lh total 19G -rw-rw-r-- 1 bsd bsd 3.1G Dec 19 07:44 ArchLinux-XFCE.vdi -rw-rw-r-- 1 bsd bsd 753M Dec 18 23:51 ChromiumOS.vmdk -rw-rw-r-- 1 bsd bsd 694M Dec 16 08:21 Debian-GNOME.vdi -rw-rw-r-- 1 bsd bsd 4.1G Dec 19 09:07 FreeBSD.vdi <------ -rw-rw-r-- 1 bsd bsd 2.9G Dec 16 06:41 Gentoo-XFCE.vdi -rw-rw-r-- 1 bsd bsd 3.1G Dec 19 06:10 LinuxMint-GNOME.vdi -rw-rw-r-- 1 bsd bsd 3.3G Dec 19 06:15 Ubuntu-GNOME.vdi [bsd(a)mon HardDisks]$ More soon... -- Balwinder S "bdheeman" Dheeman Registered Linux User: #229709 Anu'z Linux(a)HOME (Unix Shoppe) Machines: #168573, 170593, 259192 Chandigarh, UT, 160062, India Plan9, T2, Arch/Debian/FreeBSD/XP Home: http://werc.homelinux.net/ Visit: http://counter.li.org/
