FreeBSD Vagrant box

[ignisf]

Things to keep in mind:

1. FreeBSD does not support VirtualBox shared folders. This means that one has to resort to using alternative means of synchronisation of folders. I managed to test this with rsync but it only syncs one way -- host -> guest. There's also NFS, however I did not manage to make it work on my Linux system. It should, in theory, work out of the box on mac, as stated in the 'Prerequisites' section of its documentation.
2. For some reason on FreeBSD gclient replaces the v8 Makefile with this one. I have absolutely no idea why.

I was hitting this error:

==> default: Checking for guest additions in VM...
NFS requires a host-only network to be created.
Please add a host-only network to the machine (with either DHCP or a
static IP) for NFS to work.

So I followed the instruction here:

I needed to configure a private network https://github.com/coreos/coreos-vagrant#shared-folder-setup

And it is happily building away!
