Installing FreeBSD in VirtualBox
Keeps saying no bootable media found. Works with every other distro. Any ideas?

Just installed it without any problems: latest FreeBSD on the latest Sun VirtualBox.

I also installed successfully but it doesn't work well. I get sigreturn errors during portsnap. It works perfectly with qemu however. In my opinion FreeBSD works better with qemu, but Windows is much faster under VirtualBox.

Something like that - you can create a virtual machine (virtual computer) and install on it whatever OS you want (and is supported) just as you have real PC. VirtualBox is just one solution.
