>Description:
I downloaded the i386 CD-image of NetBSD 5.1 and tried installing it in VirtualBox 4.0.04 r70112 on Ubuntu 10.04 for amd64. When booting from the CD, it halts leaving the message:

uvm_fault(0xc0b82a00, 0, 1) -> 0xe
fatal page fault in supervisor mode
trap type 6 code 0 eip c0100d27 cs 8 eflags 10002 cr2 2 ilevel 1
kernel: supervisor trap page fault, code=0
Stopped in pid 0.17 (system) at netbsd:Xspllower+0x17: addb    %al,0(%eax)
db{0}>

The VirtualBox installation comes from the VirtualBox repository for my distribution:
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian lucid contrib
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot the install cd of NetBSD 5.1 i386

problem occurs booting on virtualbox.

(did the previous set of virtualbox issues ever get sorted out? Is this
expected to work?)

 From watching the discussions on IRC, I think VirtualBox 3.0 is supposed to
 work. No guarantees though.

 I think we need some sort of policy or guideline about how to deal with
 these numerous emulators -- and their flaws. Many of the issues I've seen
 touch code sections that are highly sensitive to causing regressions for
 real hardware.

State-Changed-Why:
Stale bug report. The dmesg picture is not available. I've previously used virtualbox with netbsd, so I suspect the problem was fixed in the long time since this bug report.  It's possible there's a problem with an old version of virtualbox, but I doubt that someone will be interested in using old versions of virtualbox.

Please do re-report if you experience issues with netbsd with virtualbox or in any other circumstances. THanks.
