Installing *BSD under VirtualBox

I managed to install FreeBSD and OpenBSD under VirtualBox. With NetBSD I gave up :-(. Here are some tips:

* This is a good general OpenBSD tutorial
* If you get the following message with OpenBSD:

uid 0 on /: file system full
/: write failed, file system is full
Segmentation fault

The solution described by this VB ticket might help you. Specifically you need run the machine from the command line with the -noraw0 switch.
* For FreeBSD choose the PCne-PCI II network card (instead of III) and 10BaseT as your media type if you want your networking to work
* A quick starter for NetBSD: it fails to ping the DNS server in NAT mode (10.0.2.3), but the network still works, so you can go ahead with the install.
