freebsd nightmare on wayland in virtualbox

So after spending way too much time today - all day trying to get freebsd running on wayland in virtualbox - I even used the desktop-installer option finally out of frustration and I am unable to login after restart - expecting to get to the login manager I am always prompted with xauth command failed after entering my password when attemtping to login as the user or as root both don't work. So that absolutely sucks.

It only seems to work if I use x11 in virtualbox which I don't want to use anymore.

Was hoping this process would've been a little more smooth but hell I'm frustrated and it looks that I won't be switching anytime soon from Debian if this keeps up.

Anyone had success running freebsd on wayland in virtualbox
