FreeBSD 8.1 as a Virtualbox Guest OS

[Paul Schmehl]

I'm trying to setup a FreeBSD VM in Virtualbox.  The host OS is Mac OS X 
10.6.6.  I'm already running Windows 7 64 bit with no problems.  When you 
setup a new VM, you get a first time startup scenario that asks you to 
point to a file (iso usually) that contains the setup program for the OS. 
Then, when you boot the machine, setup begins.

That's not working for me.  I've tried both the disc iso and the dvd iso 
without success.  I haven't tried it, but I assume that if I burned the iso 
and popped it in a box that I would get the setup menu and be able to 
install the OS.

Is there some kind of trick required to get this working inside VB?
