Ah! I forgot to mention this - it showed up on mine too. You need to read |
| 34 |
this /etc/rc.conf section: |
| 35 |
==================================================== |
| 36 |
# This is the subsystem type. Valid options on Linux: |
| 37 |
# "" - nothing special |
| 38 |
# "lxc" - Linux Containers |
| 39 |
# "openvz" - Linux OpenVZ |
| 40 |
# "prefix" - Prefix |
| 41 |
# "uml" - Usermode Linux |
| 42 |
# "vserver" - Linux vserver |
| 43 |
# "xen0" - Xen0 Domain |
| 44 |
# "xenU" - XenU Domain |
| 45 |
# If this is commented out, automatic detection will be attempted. |
| 46 |
# Note that autodetection will not work in a prefix environment or in a |
| 47 |
# linux container. |
| 48 |
# |
| 49 |
# This should be set to the value representing the environment this file is |
| 50 |
# PRESENTLY in, not the virtualization the environment is capable of. |
| 51 |
#rc_sys="" |
| 52 |
rc_sys="" |
| 53 |
==================================================== |

I've used the "nothing special" option, but yours might need to be something |
| 56 |
different on the VMhost. The guest would be "nothing special" I would think. |
| 57 |
(Not sure what the "prefix" is ... |
