FreeBSD_64, based on what is displayed when you do a 'list ostypes',

So, either something is broken, or I'm missing an argument / setting
here :(
The only difference between a 32-bit and 64-bit VM according to the XML
files generated is whether I/O APIC is enabled. You could create a VM
then use modifyvm to enable the I/O APIC:
VBoxManage modifyvm <uuid|name> --ioapic on

What I found with the GUI was that changing an existing VM to 64-bit
did not work, it had to be created as 64-bit in the first place.
