Nexenta (OpenSolaris kernel) + VirtualBox [weird host crashes]

I don't suppose anyone has experienced any weird host crashes in Nexenta (host) using VirtualBox 3.0.x (in headless mode)?

It seems the host stays alive (I can even type text into the box if I have a keyboard hooked up) but it drops all user connections and network connections (so i can't ssh / ping it. I can't even log in using the direct keybaord connection).

Most infuriating as VMWare doesn't support OpenSolaris and I can't seem to get Xen running so I'm stuck with VBox

showmount

showmount(1M)															     showmount(1M)

NAME

       showmount - show all remote mounts

SYNOPSIS

       [host]

DESCRIPTION

       lists  all  clients  that  have	remotely  mounted  a  file  system  from  host.  This information is maintained by the server on host (see
       mountd(1M)).  The default value for host is the value returned by (see hostname(1)).

   Options
       Print all remote mounts in the format

	    where hostname is the name of the client, and directory is the root of the file system that has been mounted.

       List directories that have been remotely mounted by clients.

       Print the list of shared file systems.

WARNINGS

       If a client crashes, executing on the server will show that the client still has a file system mounted.	In other words, stale entries  may
       accumulate for clients that crash without sending an unmount request.

       Also,  if a client mounts the same remote directory twice, only one entry appears in Doing a of one of these directories removes the single
       entry and no longer indicates that the remote directory is mounted.
