Install on Vbox not seeing all nics

Hi all. First time using pfSense, and I am hitting a snag that I hope can be remedied.

I have a Core 2 Duo that I am using as a file server/NAS and it has 3 nics in it. A dual gb Intel nic that I've bonded on the host, and then the onboard which is 10/100. I've thrown pfSense in a VM instance, and the only interface showing up is the bonded nic, but as eth1 and eth2. Vbox setup has it as bond0, and I've added eth0 to the network devices, but nothing is working. I can't ping it from anywhere on the network, I can't ping from it, web interface won't come up. I was hoping to use the bonded nic to be my internal, and my 10/100 be my external (lan/wan), but it's not quite working.

Here is a copy of my ifconfig on the host.

I know there's something I am missing, I just don't know what. I tried most of what I know.

Thanks for any help!
