hi, I have the latest running on stable from two weeks ago. I can get it
to install, but never boot using 4 cpu's (real quad core and vt-x
enabled). debian amd64 is the guest os. should it run fine with 4 cpu's ?
(I think I read about it was to be ok on new 3.0 family).

and by the way, the 3.0 beta will build out-of-the-box in FreeBSD ?

thanks,

matheus
