Hi!

What is your exact VirtualBox version?
What is the problem, is it, that you want to install it on a physical disk?

Why dont you install it on a virtual disk image?
Then it does not matter if you choose UFS or ZFS for the guest.
It just works (e.g. with OS2009.06 b111). Did you want to use a
physical disk due to performance reasons?

Also, did you try to locate the bug in VirtualBox OSE  src?
Maybe this should be cross-posted to
http://www.virtualbox.org/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
and or maybe others on
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Mailing_lists .


Cheers,
