The guest additions are for Linux, not BSD, so I doubt they'll work. I'm just amazed you got PC-BSD to run in VBox at all.

Well this is very cool indeed! I just installed PC-BSD 1.4 into VirtualBox 1.5.0 on an XP host and it "seems" to run just fine. I thought PC-BSD didn't work in virtualbox, but it is in the guest OS list selection when making a new virtual machine. Maybe something changed with 1.5.0 and/or the move to FreeBSD 6.2 and/or PC-BSD 1.4 changes ...... but it's cool

Installing ports collection atm and all is going fine.

HI,

I install gmake ans kernel source and yet I have always this message, I become crazy, test one OS in these conditions it's impossible :cry:

I give up

Hi again - I can't get it to run full screen no matter what I try. I cab get the prgram to run fullscreen, but the OS window is not streched and so appears as a little 1024x768 window in a sea of black.

I've stopped trying, as I find VMWare better for hosting PC-BSD at this point. I am really impressed though that ViretualBox has got it working this well. I'm going to keep an eye on VirtualBox from now on to see how they progress.

I'm have no idea about the guest tools install - I would suggest the only way to get this worked out is to contact the developers and see if perhaps someone has an experimental FreeBSD implementation, or tips on how to make it compile.

You're getting this message because the installation is expecting some form of Linux.

Since PC-BSD isn't Linux, it's failing due to the false assumptions it's making.

Hi,

Thank you for your informations, now it's clear for me.
I have abandoned Vbox and I have installed VMware. After installation VMware tools, VMware-config-tools suggest 9 different resolutions . My origin resolution is 1440X900 and here I have 1152X864.
If I choose 1152X900 or more I have the vertical scroller :?

this is not perfect but it's better

by and thank
