Re: NetBSD vs. VirtualBox

FWIW I just installed VirtualBox 7.2.16 on W11 and configured
NetBSD11-release using UEFI without any problems. Time keeping seems
to be working out of the box (I switched subsequently to another local
ntp server I am running - funnily enough, on a NetBSD 8.99 running on
one RPI model B with an installation from about 10-11 years...). No
issues with character repeats in the console. Basically, it is
completely usable here.
