Just to add my 2 cents, I run OpenBSD-current (i386) under VirtualBox 3.0.4 r50677 64-bit. The host operating system is Slackware 13 64 bit. I got to -current by installing OpenBSD 4.3 from the ISO image, and followed the upgrade guide from the OpenBSD website. Be warned, all I use that VM for is to compile the OpenBSD sources, it does nothing else. I have tried running OpenBSD under other versions of VirtualBox using different host operating systems, however there were always issues which would generally lead to various issues including kernel panics. My advice is to not run it virtualized. Rich

I concur, it was a Valid question on running OpenBSD in a VM. Unless someone has answered directly, I'll short-run it here. Running OpenBSD in a VM is doable, similar to running an MS-DOS or 32-bit Real-Time (Like Phar-Lap) executive in a Guest with all BIOS features available. You cannot add VM-Features to OpenBSD (Like CentOS and other Linus'es) But You cannot do that really with RT Execs either. There May be a VM guest ISO image with OpenBSD 4.0 or 4.1 (*last I saw any*) but build it yourself, it's worth the time spent. If anything, I suggest purchasing a previously owned off-lease CPU to use to build and test upon, rather than a VM. VM's are all good, to provide either a mobile snapshot of a system to test or play with, but you can't do anything really advanced with it. -sean _ Hotmail & Messenger.
