Message from virtualbox-ose-kmod-6.1.50:

The vboxdrv kernel module uses internal kernel APIs.

To avoid crashes due to kernel incompatibility, this module will only
load on FreeBSD 13.2 kernels.
```

So I guess the virtualbox driver source is not compatible with FreeBSD =
13.3 .

The EEXIST error number is misleading. Despite the error message
from kernel is accurate.

Maybe someone familiar with virtualbox would hack into the driver source =
and
make it happy with FreeBSD 13.3 .
