I just upgraded to virtualbox-ose-3.2.12 (ditto the vbox kmod port), and

Booting another VM that already existed showed the same problem -
/dev/ad0 exists but /dev/acd0 doesn't and there's no sign of it during
the device detection part of the boot.

Anyone else seeing this problem?

Details:

The host machine is amd64, running 8.1-RELEASE-p2 GENERIC.

The new VM is booting FreeBSD-8.1-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso

The old VM is running i386 8.1-RELEASE-p1 GENERIC, and can't see
/dev/acd0 regardless of whether or not an ISO is attached to it.

VBoxManage showvminfo machine | grep Storage

Most likely you are using ICH6 based IE controller. Try switching to PIIX4.
