      I'm trying to do some "test lab" work using Parallels Desktop for Mac with 4 bridged NIC's in each VM, a couple VM's for testing some CARP configs and running into some issues.  Kernel panics and the like (I've got one VM that just hosed itself.., after an fsck I just get a login prompt).

      Anybody out there doing this successfully?

        We've been running pfsense 1.2b2 & rc1 inside Parallels v2 3188 on a Mac mini 24/7 for a couple of months with good success.
        Can't get CARP to work yet (bridged ethernet).

          I have issues setting up a test and/or dev environment under parallels.  I get kernel panics once I install it to the hard drive partway through updating to the latest CVS (during the auto-update fresh install).  Anyone else have better luck or a guide?

          I'm on Parallels 3.0 build 4560.

          Thanks,
