On linux, it's easy: copy the .vbox, and .vdi file to /home/$USER/.VirtualBox folder, run the gui, and it's right there in the list. If not, manually edit the vbox file with a txt editor to fix the path that's causing compliants. Edit vbox.xml file worst-case. Simple. I suppose I should mention the fbsd server is headless, which is probably 9/10th's of the problem, since I can't run the control gui so it's never created the deafult files? I searched the entire system, there's no vbox xml file, probably cause I haven't ever successfully loaded a machine on this system? There doesn't seem to be any vbox folders or files in /etc, /usr/local/etc, /usr/share, etc. The handbook only tells you how to install vbox, with zero info on making it run (so I guess it's supposed to 'just work' for people who aren't idiots; sadly not a set which includes myself apparently). I did convince some of the shell commands to error out with references to /root/.config/virtualbox, but I can't seem to get the commands to recognize the vbox and vdi files when I place them in that path either. Totally stumpped! Many thanks!
