vmm

When installing alpine linux I kept getting:

ERROR: unable to select packages: 
	syslinux (no such package): 
	required by: world[syslinux]

error messages, I worked out this was DNS resolution failure but the reason was that I had not correctly configured pf to allow the vm to contact the internet or resolve DNS.

Following the advice of FAQ on Virtualization I set up NAT for my VM, and the installation then went smoothly.
