message: <<EOM
VirtualBox was installed.
You need to load the vboxdrv kernel module via /boot/loader.conf:
vboxdrv_load="YES"
You also have to add all users to your vboxusers group in order to use vbox.
% pw groupmod vboxusers -m jerry
Reboot the machine to load the needed kernel modules.
Bridging Support:
=================
For bridged networking please add the following line to your /etc/rc.conf:
vboxnet_enable="YES"
USB Support:
============
For USB support your user needs to be in the operator group and needs read
and write permissions to the USB device.
% pw groupmod operator -m jerry
Add the following to /etc/devfs.rules (create if it doesn't exist):
[system=10]
add path 'usb/*' mode 0660 group operator
To load these new rule add the following to /etc/rc.conf:
devfs_system_ruleset="system"
Then restart devfs to load the new rules:
% /etc/rc.d/devfs restart
Troubleshooting:
================
Running VirtualBox as non-root user may fail with a fatal error
NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED. In this case delete /tmp/.vbox-*-ipc file.
If you experience "Network: write Failed: Cannot allocate memory" errors
try to increase net.graph.maxdata in /boot/loader.conf
If you are using AIO, then increase these limits (PR#168298):
vfs.aio.max_buf_aio=8192
vfs.aio.max_aio_queue_per_proc=65536
vfs.aio.max_aio_per_proc=8192
vfs.aio.max_aio_queue=65536
To check if AIO is used use: kldstat -v | grep aio
