[Fwd: about vbox and freebsd]

[John Francis Lee]

I got an answer to my question, posted here, from ... but I've been 
instructed not to post to individuals but to the list so I copy the 
Mak's response here :

Your CPU is 64-bit from what I can see. From a bit of Googling, others 
have encountered this problem, and it seems to have to do with VM-X. I 
have no idea what that is, but a thread in which someone has a very 
similar issue is here:

   http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=19420

One notable quote is:

   ...[the CPU] does not have Intel VT (hardware virtualization), so you 
will not be able to run 64 bit guests in Virtualbox even though you run 
a 64 bit host.

HTH

So, OK. I cannot have 64 bit guests using virtual box.

I have installed the 32 bit version of FreeBSD... but it has no X and 
apparently no networking because the ftp from pkg_add failed.

Did I do something wrong in the install, or do I really have to 
configure all that stuff by hand?

Thanks for your help.
