Hi,

There is an issue with starting vbox 3.1.6 OSE in FBSD 8 release... I get
the following then trying to start up vbox, can anyone help?

    # VBoxManage createvm --name "CentOS-5.4-i386" --register
    Sun VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 3.1.6_OSE
    (C) 2005-2010 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
    All rights reserved.

    ERROR: failed to create a session object!
    ERROR: code NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED (0x80040154) - Class not
registered (extended info not available)
    Most likely, the VirtualBox COM server is not running or failed to
start.
