 I just used the FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE bootonly ISO to do a FTP install 
 under VirtualBox 1.6.0 by doing the following:
 
 - configure VM to use Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop network interface (em 
 driver) instead of PCnet-Fast III (pcn driver)
 - DNS lookups not working in sysinstall, so had to enter a manual 
 install URL with an IP instead of hostname (I used ftp4, which is the 
 isc.org mirror)
 
 After install, DNS and everything else appears to be working fine.
 
 Thanks,
 Bryan
