VirtualBox - FreeBSD guest stuck on Windows 7 64bit

Question

FreeBSD

Colleagues, this is the problem:

VirtualBox 4.2.6 (latest version) is installed under Windows 7 64bit. It runs a FreeBSD guest. There is a process of loading services, and after almost every output of information about the loading process to the console, the system shuts up and continues loading only after you press Enter. Previously, the same FreeBSD image on Windows Vista worked without such problems.

Okay, loaded up. The login: form is lit in the main terminal. I go through Putty via SSH, launch, for example, mc or top - everything hangs in Putty until you go to the main console and press AnyKey. It feels like the virtual machine goes to sleep until you wake it up with user input.

The settings are 100% of the processor, i.e. no restrictions. Tell me where to dig?

Answer 1

Play around with IO APIC and positioning devices. If it lets you through SSH, this means that at least bash / csh has started, giving you a console, which means the machine is not “sleeping”. A stable running FreeBSD is 6.2 www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Guest_OSes
