8* Important Note:
9You must boot OpenSolaris in the same instruction set as the VirtualBox install package.
10This means if you are installing the 64-bit version of VirtualBox you MUST boot in
1164-bit mode. This is because the installer will setup the VirtualBox driver. Use the command
12"isainfo -k" to check what instruction set is currently being used. If the output is "amd64"
13you have booted in 64-bit mode, otherwise it is 32-bit.

15After extracting the contents of the tar.gz file perform the following steps:
16
171. Login as root using the "su" command.
18
192. Install the packages (in this order):
20 Newer versions of OpenSolaris may contain a vbi module. If your version does NOT have the
21 vbi module already installed (check for existence of /platform/i86pc/kernel/misc/vbi)
22 then run:
23
24 pkgadd -G -d VirtualBoxKern-@VBOX_VERSION_STRING@-SunOS-r@VBOX_SVN_REV@.pkg
25
26 To perform an unattended (non-interactive) installation of this package add
27 "-n -a autoresponse SUNWvboxkern" (without quotes) to the end of the above pkgadd command.
28
29 Once the vbi module is installed run:
30
31 pkgadd -d VirtualBox-@VBOX_VERSION_STRING@-SunOS-@BUILD_TARGET_ARCH@-r@VBOX_SVN_REV@.pkg
32
33 To perform an unattended (non-interactive) installation of this package add
34 "-n -a autoresponse SUNWvbox" (without quotes) to the end of the above pkgadd command.
35
363. For each package the installer would ask you to "Select package(s) you wish to process"
37 For this type "1" or "all".
38
394. Then type "y" when asked about continuing with the installation.
40
41Now all the necessary files would be installed on your system. Start VirtualBox by typing
42VirtualBox from the terminal.
