Similar experiece here. Windows XP, Sabayon, and SuSE all work fine in VBox
1.40, but for some reason no flavor of BSD does. I have no idea if anyone is
working on changing this or not.
I used to use VMware, but since it's not "free" I didn't really like it. VBox
is somewhere in between open and closed, but seems to work much better on my
machine(s) than QEMU.
