      I have been trying to get pfsense embedded to run on virtual box. Using the commands below successfully creates a vdi image to use

      VBoxManage convertdd pfSense-1.2.3-1g-20091207-2337-nanobsd.img pfnano1g.vdi

      However, when I load the vm it hangs at the bootloader. I attached a screenshot below.

      I have set every minimal setting I could think of to try to get it to work. No luck so far. I did get it crash the vm though!  ;D If anyone wants a copy of the trace let me know.

          You could still use VirtualBox for that, though why would you want to? There isn't much benefit to running nanobsd inside of a VM.

          It doesn't output to VGA, so there is no console output beyond where you saw it "hang"

          You can setup a virtual serial port in VirtualBox using a named pipe, and then connect to that pipe with PuTTY. I do that with my development NanoBSD VMs in VMware.
