Hi Martin,

I'm running RELENG_7, I've just given it a spin, I was able to install
another FreeBSD instance in the virtual machine. Working great! Any
idea when this will hit the ports tree?

As a side note, loading vboxdrv.ko while X was running crashed my
machine, in RTMpGetOnlineCount (). Unfortunately, all frames between
that and frame 0 were corrupt. After rebooting, I was able to log on
ttyv0 and loaded it without any issues.
