I am trying to run Windows under FreeBSD in VirtualBox.
When I run:
cat /dev/ad1s1 | VBoxManage stdin OutPutFile.vdi 21474836480
on 80-RC1 I get this output:
ERROR: failed to create the VirtualBox object!
ERROR: code NS_ERROR_ABORT (0x80004004) - Operation aborted (extended
info not available)
Most likely, the VirtualBox COM server is not running or failed to start.
Same error when I run VictualBox command.
After some debugging I found that VBoxSVC throws an exception because
file /root/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml is missing:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'xml::EIPRTFailure'
what(): Runtime error: -102 (File not found.)
Abort trap: 6
Who is supposed to create this file?
What could be the problem?

So I had to manually create a file /root/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<VirtualBox xmlns="http://www.innotek.de/VirtualBox-settings";
version="1.7-freebsd">
</VirtualBox>
After this it worked. But addition of CD/DVD image through GUI crashes
(on Add button).
So I had to manually add section like this:
<DVDImages>
<Image uuid="{0bf774e9-b973-4b7a-9d48-2a1cccbd196a}"
location="/home/yuri/Downloads/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso"/>
</DVDImages>
in order for it to work.
I am not sure why GUI has such instabilities in FreeBSD. Is that because
of it's 8.0-RC1?
