I am attaching a screenshot of a hang booting 7.5.  After a successful install 
I rebooted and this is a typical hang.

Trying to install openbsd 7.5 and 7.4 under Version 7.0.20 r163906 (Qt5.15.2) 
on intel machine the install hangs or it hangs during boot after the install.  
I am attaching a specy report of the machine configuration.

I have used openbsd for over a decade on real hardware and virtual machines in 
vmware and virtual box. This is the first time I have run into hangs like this.

It often hangs during boot from install_75.iso or cd74.iso at the V4 IP after 
picking autoconf for em0.  If I change the hardware network adapter from m1000 
desktop to m1000 server that part works and it gets further along.

With IDE set for the disk it sometimes gets incredibly slow trying to do any 
disk access or setup the drivers for IDE.  It can take 15min to get past the 
IDE driver lines in the boot.  Switching the disk to SCSI in the VirtualBox 
config works better.  But still hangs later on.

Are there any known VirtualBox issues?  I don't have a current vmware license 
to try that...

The two most common places to hang are at the V4 IP assignment when installing 
or late in the boot after rebooting after the install.  Not at the same place 
but anywhere near the end of the boot.

Are there any VirtualBox openbsd appliances I could download to see if your 
config works better?
