Hello to everyone.

This is my second attempt to be able to boot an OS with Virtualbox.
I'm trying to boot a Linux and a Windows 11 DVD. I've followed
different tutorials,such as :

​

​

but I haven't still been able to accomplish this task. I have
installed also bhyve.

​

    # pkg install virtualbox-ose

    # added the following line to    /boot/loader.conf :

    # vboxdrv_load="YES"

    # added the following to    /etc/rc.conf :
    vboxnet_enable="YES"

    # pw groupmod vboxusers -m marietto

    # chown root:vboxusers /dev/vboxnetctl

    # chmod 0660 /dev/vboxnetctl

    To make this permissions change permanent, added these    lines to
/etc/devfs.conf :

    own     vboxnetctl root:vboxusers
    perm    vboxnetctl 0660

    # pw groupmod operator -m marietto

    Added the following to    /etc/devfs.rules :

    [system=10]
    add path 'usb/*' mode 0660 group operator

    To load these new rules, added the following to    /etc/rc.conf:

    devfs_system_ruleset="system"

    Restarted devfs:

    # service devfs restart

    Enabled it in /etc/rc.conf and started it if it is not already
running:

    hald_enable="YES"

    # service hald start

    hald does not exist in /etc/rc.d or the local startup
    directories (/usr/local/etc/rc.d), or is not executable

    # kldstat |grep vmmon
    nothing

    # kldstat | grep vmm
    10    1 0xffffffff8288d000   583d30 vmm.ko

​

This is how I have configured the various settings on the GUI :

as u can see it won't boot. I always see a black screen inside the
Virtualbox window.

what about disabling EFI in virtualbox?

Any reason why you chose virtualbox over FreeBSDs built in
virtualization Tools?

yes. I like to experiment. I tried to boot mac os x,but it didn't
work.

Okay, booting MacOS in bhyve probably won't Work. Last Time I tried
vbox on FreeBSD was about 2 years ago, right before I switched to
bhyve so I have No Idea what's the hold Up.

I've tried to boot mac os x with bhyve. It could work,I see a minor
error. But I'm not sure if I can make a post on this subreddit.
