I was using VB in a set-up like that up until a few weeks ago. It works here now, too. Apparently there's a difference between creating a 64-bit guest from the start, and creating a 32-bit guest and changing it to 64-bit afterwards. Creating one that's 64-bit from the start works. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
virtualbox 4.0
I wanted to get freeBSD but I didn't wan't to dual boot so I used virtualbox 4.0 and downloaded the ISO of the freeBSD amd64 8.2. It installed fine but when I got to the boot menu and pressed [enter] x2 it said CPU doesnt support longmode and then come's up saying type '?' to show comands, or 'help' to show help. when I typed either of these commands it says '?' not found or 'help' not found whats wrong and what should I do? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: virtualbox 4.0
Hi there Gregg You have more than likely configured a 32bit virtual machine and not a 64bit one. Make that change to you're VM config and you will more than likely come right. Is you're host operating system also 64bit? Regards,...

It has been about five months, so I may misremember, but I think I had a very similar problem earlier this year. I had a 64 bit Win7 system (on a 64 bit processor, naturally -- Intel Core i5). I installed VirtualBox and set it up for a 64 bit FreeBSD install, then tried to install 64 bit FreeBSD; I think it was 8.2, but I didn't keep careful notes that I can check now. It failed to work. I think I got a doesn't support long mode error, but again I am not 100% certain due to the passage of time and the fact I have not really thought about it in the interim. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] pgpHEzQa4ThEq.pgp Description: PGP signature

That functionality has been around awhile, probably at least around the time Vbox was introduced to FreeBSD ports. I used to use 64 bit VM's on a 32 bit FreeBSD host, but the only stipulation was only one 64 bit VM could be run at a time. I didn't have any stability issues. This was in the early 3.X series and I haven't tried recently. -- Adam Vande More ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I was using VB in a set-up like that up until a few weeks ago. I worked well I have to say but I couldn't get a full screen and in the end I installed dual-boot instead. This was with Win7(32bit) as the host, FreeBSD(64bit) as guest. I didn't try FreeBSD as host because I read that it's lacking USB support for the moment. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
