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.
