5Installing:
6-----------
7
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.
12
13Use the command "isainfo -k" to check what instruction set is currently being used. If
14the output is "amd64" you have booted in 64-bit mode, otherwise it is 32-bit.
