virtualbox startup error

[Dale Scott]

I run vbox headless and install binaries using pkg. However, the kernel module MUST be compiled from source (I used to know why...  ;-))

install virtualbox-ose-nox11
use portsnap to install and/or update the ports tree
make install virtualbox-ose-kmod from the ports tree

Fwiw, I use phpvirtualbox for management, it's practically identical to the native VirtualBox UI (but does require configuring a web server).

Cheers,
Dale
