root at snap.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
Installed from package using pkg:
virtualbox-ose-4.3.12_1 General-purpose full virtualizer for x86
hardware
virtualbox-ose-kmod-4.3.12 VirtualBox kernel module for FreeBSD
Went through the instruction on the FreeBSD Handbook, Emulators,
Virtualbox and set up all of the
various entries. Running Hald, etc.
Rebooted.
Ran VirtualBox.
After some issues, looked up error message and there were suggestions
to recompile virtualbox-ose-kmod
from source, which I did and installed it. This got rid of a bunch of
'bogus' error messages.
Installed: virtualbox-ose-kmod-4.3.12 VirtualBox kernel module for
FreeBSD
Rebooted.
Ran VirtualBox - no bogus error messages, etc. now.
As a user, run VirtualBox. Set up a VM for Win7, put a CD in the CD
Reader. The CD showed up on the devices pane (see screenshot).
Clicked Run, I hear the CD starting up, going click click, and then it
dies with the following message:
Error Message:

I also logged in as Root, and did the same procedure, with the same result.
Question: Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
