Running eg. inside 4.1.10 under Windows 7 and is working fine except of years old bug which is causing you console become red when you log out of X. For OpenBSD you need virtualization HW extensions, but it's not so complete true as well, because if you will start it from PowerShell/cmd/whatever terminal like this: $ VBoxManage list vms find your name for OpenBSD vm or its UID and then: $ VBoxSDL -norawr0 -vm name_of_your_vm_or_its_uid There's not a button for norawr0 option in GUI > > > /
