      Hi,

      After a recent upgrade from VirtualBox 6.1.40 to 7.0.2 on Arch Linux, all of my pfSense virtual machines hang at "Configuring WAN interface" during the boot process. Reverting VirtualBox back to 6.1.40 fixes it.

      The pfSense VM (CE 2.6.0) is configured with EFI enabled and the WAN interface is a NAT virtual network adapter with "virtio-net". I've tried changing the adapter to either of the Intel PRO/1000 Server options and it does eventually boot after a 5 minute hang at the same point, but it is unable to get an IP and therefore doesn't work either.

      I've also tried to create a brand new pfSense VM using the same settings as our currently running ones and while it installs properly, after the reboot it is stuck on "Default interfaces not found -- Running interface assignment option.". This also works properly in 6.1.40.

      Edit: Other VM works properly, including other FreeBSD 13.1 virtual machines but not FreeBSD 12.3 (same issue). Opened a ticket here in case it helps: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/21201.

      Any suggestions?
