RE: Use of Floppy Drive with FreeBSD Virtual Machines
kinda odd, as you cant even buy a floppy disk anymore Not so! I just bought one package of this as a gag gift for a friend's birthday: http://www.amazon.com/Verbatim-3-5In-1-44MB-Pre-Fmt-10Pk/dp/B511BI/ Paying $10 for ~15MB of storage was a mindblowing experience :) ___ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

What is the best and easiest to manage? I have only ever used EXSi before but the ESXi client is not available for *nix so it makes managing a bit more difficult.

RE: Failed assertion in virtualbox-ose 4.1.18
Went ahead and recompiled without DEBUG and DBUS (we are running headless, after all). Stable for two days. Of course, this begs the question of whether or not the assertion is correct or not...
