With a new release of VirtualBox that almost looks worthwhile, I decided
to try installing NetBSD. Unfortunately the -current i386.iso that I can
download seems to panic while booting...

On this occasion, bt said this happened in wdc_drvprobe.
Given the options that VirtualBox now has, I've tried it:
- with ACPI turned on (and off)
- with APIC I/O turned on with ACPI on
and each time the same result (but in a different place): panic
in spllower.
Us this a known generic issue with -current or new with VBox?
