I'm trying to setup a FreeBSD VM in Virtualbox. The host OS is Mac OS X

you setup a new VM, you get a first time startup scenario that asks you
to point to a file (iso usually) that contains the setup program for the
OS. Then, when you boot the machine, setup begins.
Works for me on much the same kit. As I recall, you need to play with
the CPU etc. settings a bit to find some combination that will boot.
Let's see...
OS Type FreeBSD (64 bit)
As much RAM as you want
One CPU
Enable PAE/NX
VT-x/AMD-V Enabled
Nested Paging Enabled
Enable IO APIC
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That was the critical piece. Once I did that the old familiar setup
routine came up. I'm installing now. Thanks for everyone's help.
