We have a new 3.1.4 (r4817) snapshot ISO on the download page. This
version includes virtual memory (VM) optimizations that increase
performance slightly over r4220. We have implemented other VM
optimizations that boost performance significantly, but they cause
issues on VMWare and VirtualBox. Once we resolve these issues, we'll
post a new snapshot.
As of this snapshot, users should be able to run Minix on QEMU, KVM,
VMWare, and VirtualBox without any hacks. You no longer need to set
any boot monitor variables (QEMU/KVM), hack config files (VMWare), or
restart network drivers (VirtualBox). Just make sure to select the
correct network card during installation.
There are also many other fixes (select, mfs, etc.) and cleanups. Enjoy.

It's a virtual memory issue. We're tracking it down now. We'll post
more information once we have a fix. The r4817 snapshot does not
exhibit the problem.
