Installing Arch64 using VirtualBox?

Hey,

I wanna install Arch64 on a raw disk on my Core 2 Duo computer, using VirtualBox (I am currently using Arch i686).

There is a wiki article describing how to do so:http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installing_Arch_Linux_from_VirtualBox

Question is whether I can install Arch64 using an Arch i686 host (with VirtualBox)?

Thanks
fiod

You can run a 64 bit guest on a 32 bit OS. Check the below link for full details.

As far as I know using physical disk partitions for VMs is possible but not supported.
