I was all excited at the promise of having more than one interface available in the vm - I'm one of the pfSense (http://www.pfsense.org) core developers and really really needed a vm technology for OSX that allowed me to test out our code. Unfortunately, I can't get it to boot with any of our released media (FreeBSD 6.1, and 6.2 core). I saw a post regarding FreeNAS (also FreeBSD based) working in the previous releases, so I tried that out - same issue. Won't mount root (and spins eating 50% CPU) and has some sense errors while reading the virtual cdrom. Here's the .pvs file for the system.
