[Call For Testing] VirtualBox for FreeBSD! take 6

[Boris]

Hi Bernhard,

I confirm VT-x is now working. It used to fail on my system with previous
release from the time I launched the VM.
I am using amd64-8-BETA4 and rev 456.
I have experienced a crash of the VM in the middle of the installation of a
Debian64 so I will try again and report if it's reproducible. I used an
existing virtual disk so I'll try again from scratch.

Could you confirm if the patch from Fredrik Lindberg is going to be
integrate to a next revision before port freeze?

Thanks a lot to all people involved !

Boris
