2Sun xVM VirtualBox for OpenSolaris
3----------------------------------

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. 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 If you have not installed vbi module (check for the file /platform/i86pc/kernel/misc/vbi) run:
21
22 pkgadd -G -d VirtualBoxKern-@VBOX_VERSION_STRING@-SunOS-r@VBOX_SVN_REV@.pkg
23
24 Once the vbi module is installed run:
25
26 pkgadd -d VirtualBox-@VBOX_VERSION_STRING@-SunOS-@BUILD_TARGET_ARCH@-r@VBOX_SVN_REV@.pkg
27
283. For each package the installer would ask you to "Select package(s) you wish to process"
29 For this type "1" or "all".
30
314. Then type "y" when asked about continuing with the installation.
32
33Now all the necessary files would be installed on your system. Start VirtualBox by typing
34VirtualBox from the terminal.
