Erst vor einigen Tagen wurden die ersten Screenshots fuer VirtualBox auf FreeBSD praesentiert, nun stehen die ersten Versionen zum Testen bereit.

Miwi dazu freebsd-current@:

Howdy Guys,

After the announcement from Alexander Eichner about
Virtualbox on FreeBSD, we started the work on a port
for FreeBSD. Now we think that we solved the most
problems and are ready for the first Call for Testing.

Some notes before you can test the port:
Make sure you are using RELENG_7 or higher. You have
to use a fresh portstree with uptodate ports!! Please
read carefully the pkg-messages.

Some known issues / Troubleshooting:
Sometimes the kernel on HEAD coredumps when loading
or unloading the kernel module. A small workaround
to prevent the crash is to not start X, mount proc,
then load the kernel module and start X from the
console. That helped me and some testers, maybe you
too. AMD64 should be work in general, it builds
and start. But not right tested at the moment. We
want here also some feedback.

Some Thanks:
First of all we’d like to say many thanks to _ALL_
vbox developers. Next people are Bernhard Froehlich
(aka decke), Beat Gaetzi (beat@), Dennis Herrmann
(dhn@), Pietro Cerutti (gahr@), myself (*gg*),
and _ALL_ who helped and provided feedback.

Happy Testing

Gesucht werden vor allem Leute, die das ganze auf amd64 testen, da gerade diese Maschinen doch Mangelware sind. Also, wer eine amd64 hat, bitte testen
