I failed to reproduce this with FreeBSD-10.0-BETA2 i386 image :(
It installed and booted successfully.

Here is my host environment:

glebius at think:~:|>pkg info -x virtual
virtualbox-ose-4.2.18_1
virtualbox-ose-kmod-4.2.18
glebius at think:~:|>uname -a
FreeBSD think.nginx.com 11.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #13 r257045: Thu Oct 24 15:16:04 MSK 2013     glebius at think.nginx.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/head/sys/THINKPAD_X1  amd64

When trying to reproduce I used VirtualBox GUI and choosed defaults
in every dialog window.

Boris and Maciej, if you use non-default configuration, can you please
provide more details?
