Then start up your virtualbox and it should have access. I was fighting with that last night, and just now figured it out. The user should be a member of the operator group, but also must have rw permissions on /dev/cd0, /dev/xpt0, and /dev/pass0... and here's the trick: there can be more than one /dev/pass device. As soon as I added pass1 and pass2 to /etc/devfs.conf, it worked: perm cd0 0660 perm pass0 0660 perm pass1 0660 perm pass2 0660 perm xpt0 0660 HAL is not needed.
