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 .
