[Call For Testing] VirtualBox for FreeBSD! take 6

[Boris]

Thanks all I got the latest revision (461) from your repository Bernhard and
Fredrik's feature compiles correctly.

I got a Debian64 VM with 4GB running on BETA4 amd64 with bridge interface
working well.
I just got a problem after installing the VBoxGuestAdditions-amd64. I
rebooted, got on login screen (graphical) in the VM, issued user/pass and
the VM aborts.
As I noticed VBoxGuestAdditions-amd64 require 2.6.27 and I am running
2.6.26-2, I will align. VBoxGuestAdditions-amd64 installed successfully on
2.6.26-2 though.

I will let you know if I still get the same behaviour after Linux kernel
upgrade in the VM. Anyway I think I will go for proper CLI access now it is
reachable through the bridged interface :-)

Thanks again for all contributors !

Boris
