Jul 22, 2017 · I could say the same thing about Linux when I run it in VirtualBox. And Windows, too, as booting it up is an exercise in exercising, but using VirtualBox to benchmark any operating system is unwise and thinking one of the most stable operating systems on the planet, FreeBSD, is not because of it is also unwise.
x86, x86-64 (with Intel VT-x or AMD-V, and VirtualBox 2 or later) Windows, Linux, macOS, Solaris, FreeBSD, eComStation DOS, Linux, macOS, [8] FreeBSD, Haiku , OS/2, Solaris, Syllable, Windows, and OpenBSD (with Intel VT-x or AMD-V, due to otherwise tolerated incompatibilities in the emulated memory management). NetBSD can often be the forgotten Unix distribution. Forgotten to the popularity of FreeBSD, OpenBSD, PC-BSD and others. In truth, NetBSD has been around a very long time. NetBSD originated in the early 1990’s, founded by four former members of the 386BSD project. Due to internal dispute between developers and generally not satisfied with the AS much as I love OpenBSD: if users believe they need to run Windows or legacy apps, I think it makes more sense to run OSX or Free/PCBSD as the host OS and Windows in a VirtualBox session, rather than an OpenBSD firewall on a Windows host. Also, Wine can do an amazing job these days. – DutchUncle Jan 15 '11 at 15:35 Jul 19, 2019 · Running Virtualbox 6.0 in OpenSuse Installing VirtualBox Extension Pack in OpenSuse.

VirtualBox for Mac lets you create a virtual machine on Mac OS X that you can then load Mac OS X, Windows (pretty much any variant) or Linux (and OpenBSD) into.
One thing I love about VirtualBox is the Guest Additions package, for Windows and Linux guests. It allows you to resize the window and get an instant resolution change to go along with it. When you start playing with some of the more obscure OSes, though, there's no guest additions. This includes OpenBSD.
The virtio driver conforms to the virtio 0.9.5 specification. The virtio 1.0 standard is only supported for PCI devices. By default 0.9 is preferred over 1.0. This can be changed by setting the bit 0x4 in the flags.
OpenBSD should consider time reported by VirtualBox as UTC time. So if this option is not checked, the VirtualBox will report local time to OpenBSD, OpenBSD misunderstands it as UTC time and add additional 8 hour to local time. This can explain what I have seen. Reference: Set date during OpenBSD installation. 2. Installing VirtualBox .
