OK, good to know.

I wanted to try the install of a new Vbox on an oi vm before going to the
hardware but apparently something is interfering with the vms ability
to recognize 64bit.  Maybe something about being nested beneath a vm HOST.

So, going to the hardware (HP xw8600 workstation with freshly updated
OI running.) Maybe the results will be similar to yours.

Thanks for the timely reply.
