I just pkg-installed virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-additions virtualbox-ose-kmod & whatever they wanted as dependencies. I followed most of the directions at https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/virtualization-host-virtualbox.html, until I got down to the part about changing permissions for |/dev/vboxnetctl .... there is no such animal on my box (FBSD 9.3 64-bit, new install) .... I skipped down to launch virtualbox, which failed as root because of no display set, but worked as regular user (I am su'ed into root from regular user, not console logged in, that may be the problem) .... Is anyone using VBox under FBSD 9.3 (w/ desktop, XFCE or other) to run Win7 VM's ? Any advice/gotchas/wisdom/etc. :-) ? TIA ....| -- William A.
