For the first time so far, I managed to get emulators/virtualbox to
compile and install from ports a few hours ago. Following the pkg-messages,
I attempted to "kldload vboxdrv" or whatever it was called, which resulted
in an immediate crash and automatic system reboot. :-(
However, I had already added
vboxdrv_load="YES"
vboxnetflt_load="YES"
to /boot/loader.conf and so was expecting it to fail, but it didn't. I even
started up VirtualBox and looked at a couple of things, then looked around
in it for a few minutes. Aside from the fact that the help subsystem was
MIA, I didn't notice anything untoward.
Except for the recurring console messages, which began during system
startup and have continued ever since. Here's what a few of them look
like.

As you can see, there is some repetition and some variation. Can anyone
tell me what these messages mean and how they might best be stopped?
Thanks much!
