pfSense and FreeNAS keep failing in 2.0 beta

[AlanMAC]

I've had a little problem with *bsd based distros, specifically, FreeNAS and pfSense. When booting the VM, both behave the same and shutdown. With both, it's before I get to the install option, the console freezes (freezes the browser too, both Firefox 8 and Chromium, on Fedora 16 and Linux Mint 9) and the VM will stop. I have changed some of the configuration around (kernel type, amount of cores/cpu's). I don't have these issues with Linux based distros, just seems to be the BSD based ones. Any idea or thing I should check?

What hard disk type are you using? I originally had problems on 1.x too, but solved it by using SCSI and qcow2. Have you tried that?

Hi,
i have an pfsense running on pve1.9. I don't remember if i use special boot-flags, but the config looks normal:

more 205.conf

vlan12: rtl8139=3A:75:E7:6F:90:24
ostype: other

I've tried qcow2 with scsi, still no go. Does anyone know if there's a specific log file that will tell me what's going on?

There gives an Problem with *BSD and USB. To Fix it use this:

I'm trying this right now, I'll post my results.

Church23,
The second post in the link you posted worked like a charm, I have pfsense installed (not configured yet) and FreeNAS on it's way to installation. Problem solved, thanks for all the help guys!!

Also worth noting that there are VirtIO drivers for FreeBSD now...
