There are some bugs in VBox if you install applications from source. The bug claims to be fixed in XP, but my experience that the bug is still not fixed. You may need to 'make' few times to compile a package successfully.

I finally managed to find the time to complete reinstalling FreeBSD on a Virtual machine, after accidentally losing my old VM a couple of weeks ago. As always, installing FreeBSD is relatively simple, straightforwards, and surprisingly fast - once you've done it a few times and remember what keys to press in what order, you can pretty much finish the portion of installation requiring human interaction in under a minute. Being half asleep, I somehow managed to miss the confirmation for the ports collection the first time, so I had to reinstall, but the second time was as quick as the first. After installation, the system comes up with no problems and everything appears to be working out of the box, including networking.
