Sun xVM VirtualBox for OpenSolaris (TM) Operating System

--------------------------------------------------------

Installing:

-----------

* Important Note:

You must boot OpenSolaris in the same instruction set as the VirtualBox install package.

This means if you are installing the 64-bit version of VirtualBox you MUST boot in

64-bit mode. This is because the installer will setup the VirtualBox driver. Use the command

"isainfo -k" to check what instruction set is currently being used. If the output is "amd64"

you have booted in 64-bit mode, otherwise it is 32-bit.

After extracting the contents of the tar.gz file perform the following steps:

1. Login as root using the "su" command.

2. Install the packages (in this order):

Newer versions of OpenSolaris may contain a vbi module. If your version does NOT have the

vbi module already installed (check for existence of /platform/i86pc/kernel/misc/vbi)

then run:

pkgadd -G -d VirtualBoxKern-@VBOX_VERSION_STRING@-SunOS-r@VBOX_SVN_REV@.pkg

Once the vbi module is installed run:

pkgadd -d VirtualBox-@VBOX_VERSION_STRING@-SunOS-@BUILD_TARGET_ARCH@-r@VBOX_SVN_REV@.pkg

3. For each package the installer would ask you to "Select package(s) you wish to process"

For this type "1" or "all".

4. Then type "y" when asked about continuing with the installation.

Now all the necessary files would be installed on your system. Start VirtualBox by typing

VirtualBox from the terminal.
