Thanks Trond. I assume you mean the host here. Since it has installed
under QEMU/vmm on Linux, I guess that I have HW Virtualization
enabled. Actually, I know that this is the case, since I have run
OpenIndianna under Virtual Box as well as Windows Server 2008.

True. AMD64. Maybe I need to check that.
