This is a known problem for a while but I think it's almost microscopic.
Just place the following script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/vboxkos
-----------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
echo ' VirtualBox'
/sbin/kldload vboxnetflt
/sbin/kldload vboxnetadp <- optional
------------------------------------
and take vboxnetflt_load="YES" out of loader.conf.
Load only vboxdrv.ko there !
The modules will be loaded late enough and everything will work.
