I first tried this in qemu and later tried in VirtualBox in the hopes that would work better. In VirtualBox I have set the network interface to bridge to my native interface, called en0 Ethernet.

You cannot have a default route until you have an IP address. I assume
you are expecting an automatic IP address via DHCP?

so add:

ifconfig_em0="DHCP"

or run 'dhclient em0' if you want to do it manually
