I have Parallels virtual machine running FreeBSD. Releases 6 & 7 work fine so I'd tried updating to 8. I get kernel crash (but carry on using FreeBSD afterwards) and some services such as networking don't work. I am not sure if this is a FreeBSD issue or parallels one and have submitted a bug to Parallels. Unfortunately I cannot provide a text dump of the crash but I could send a screenshot if this would help. Rollback to FreeBSD works fine - great! How-To-Repeat: Install FreeBSD using the image provided on the Parallels website and try to update to 8.4 beta via 7.
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-i386->freebsd-emulation Make a guess and assign this to the emulation mailing list.
What version of Parallels are you using? I find 8-RC1 i386 is working fine on Parallels 4.0 Build 3846 for Mac OS X Identical source compiled for amd64 also mostly works, but ifconfig leads to a crash. See my bug report kern/139423
State Changed From-To: open->feedback Please note that feedback has been requested.
I've finally worked out what the problem is and how to work around it: initialisation of the virtualised network interface with DHCP doesn't work. If after booting, the interface is reconfigured using Sysinstall (and I'm sure there is another more direct way) then everything works fine. Both shared and dedicated network interfaces work fine if you follow this. I have submitted another bug report to Parallels.

This *always* times out but I have no problems if I run dhcpclient as soon as the system is up.

For bugs matching the following criteria: Status: In Progress Changed: (is less than) 2014-06-01 Reset to default assignee and clear in-progress tags. Mail being skipped
With a supported version of FreeBSD (8 is end of life), is this still an issue?
