Thanks for the responses! I'll look into KVM and VMWare, and possibly some of the others. From the variety of responses it sounds like VirtualBox is the only virtualization software that *doesn't* work with OpenBSD though.
Strangely enough, after asking my question, i reinstalled OpenBSD in VirtualBox with slightly different settings and now it is working just fine. I've managed to build a -stable release. I haven't tried running X, but just being able to compile is good enough for now. The settings i used that work on my machine are VirtualBox' defaults except for turning on VT-x/AMD-V, and within the VM i added softdep to the mount options in fstab. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dan Ramaley Dial Center 118, Drake University Network Programmer/Analyst 2407 Carpenter Ave +1 515 271-4540 Des Moines IA 50311 USA
