A FreeBSD system (in a VirtualBox Virtual Machine) installed on your computer.

I would like to work on this task.
This task has been assigned to Eric Newberry. You have 72 hours to complete this task, good luck!
There are instructions at http://wiki.freebsd.org/GoogleCodeIn/GettingTheSource which cover getting the source, making and testing your changes, and generating a diff in a format that can be submitted.
Once you have downloaded the source, the source for the VirtualBox chapter is
/usr/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/virtualization/chapter.sgml .
If you have any questions feel free to ask.
The work on this task is ready to be reviewed.
Could you please remove the "Troubleshooting" chapter at the end because I think the information in there is not appropriate for the handbook. Otherwise it looks very good to me! Great work!
Ok, it's been corrected and re-uploaded. :)
Congratulations, this task has been completed successfully.
