Felicitations! I’m having some difficulties getting my Haiku VM to boot consistently; currently, the thing only seems to boot when it wants to, which is about 6% of the time. Mostly it just hangs at the boot screen with all the little icons lit.
System information!
Mac OS X v10.7 host
VirtualBox 4.1.4 r74291 environment (latest version)
Haiku’s VDI came pre-made from VirtualBoxes.org with Haiku R1/Alpha 3 preinstalled.
I went to virtualboxes.org and it said:
the image has been done from the nightly build HDD raw image"
And right there is your problem. Get your system running with an official Alpha3 version downloadable from this site before you start fooling arond with nightlies. download the ISO or anyboot format and set that in VB as your CDROM, create a virtual HD, boot from CD, format “HD” to befs, install.

Whoops, my bad! Somehow I completely missed that part despite it being conveniently located RIGHT NEXT TO THE DOWNLOAD LINK. Reading is a lifelong skill I suppose, who would’ve thought.
OK, so I installed Haiku to a virtual drive from the legit ISO (STABLE build), and I’m still encountering the same problem! Settings are unchanged. Any further help available?
