I am trying (for the first time) to get VirtualBox to work.  And when I
select "Start" (using an image from a colleague who has run it
successfully), I get a "VirtualBox - Error" pop-up window:

	Failed to open a session for the virtual machines
	[Vmachine name here]

	Failed to loaf VMMRO.r0
	(VERR_SUPLIB_SYMLINKS_ARE_NOT_PERMITTED).

Details

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6}


Now, I do make some use of symlinks: I'm running FreeBSD stable/10,
i386.  And I am strictly using UFS2 with soft updates (but no
journaling), and I have the system set up to be bootable fromn any of
the 4 slices available via MBR:

(I note I've been setting up FreeeBSD machines this way since ... 1998.)


So: what must I do in order for VirtualBox to actually work?

Thanks!

Peace,
