freebsd-ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose-legacy/pkg-message
Beat Gaetzi 078a314586 emulators/virtualbox:
- Remove emulators/virtualbox port. Renamed to emulators/virtualbox-ose
  and seperate port for the kernel modules created:
  emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod.

emulators/virtualbox-ose:
- Update to 3.1.2
- Update guest additions to 3.1.2
- Port has been renamed to virtualbox-ose to reflect that we are using
  the OSE version. [1]
- Added proper PulseAudio support for FreeBSD [2]
- procfs is not required anymore because vbox uses sysctl(3) now [3]
- Update pkg-message to reflect recent changes
- Add nox's FreeBSD host networking patches that are now also in the
  upstream vbox svn (modulo vbox variable naming style adjustments:)

  1. Allow direct tap networking again (for users that need the best
  network performance and/or need more complex network setups, like when
  they want to use routing instead of bridging to e.g. protect from guests
  messing with the lan's arp tables; a tap + routing + proxy arp example
  is in the above freebsd-emulation posting.)
  2. Enable vbox' shared mac feature when using bridged mode on a wifi
  interface, together with the virtualbox-ose-kmod change this
  should fix bridged mode for wifi users. [4]

emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod:
- Update to 3.1.2
- Add rc.d script to load kernel modules
- Fix build with a non-standard location for the system source [5]
- Merge aeichner's vboxnetflt fix committed to upstream vbox svn
  (thanks!) that makes the shared mac feature enabled above actually work
  on FreeBSD hosts. [6]

Please see http://wiki.freebsd.org/VirtualBox for update instructions.

Many thanks to the VirtualBox developers, all tester, patch submitter and
the whole vbox@ team.

=============================================================================
VirtualBox was installed.
You need to load the vboxdrv kernel module via /boot/loader.conf:
vboxdrv_load="YES"
For bridged networking please add the following line to your /etc/rc.conf:
vboxnet_enable="YES"
Reboot the machine to load the needed kernel modules.
You also have to add all users to your vboxusers group in order to use vbox.
% pw groupmod vboxusers -m jerry
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.
Check wiki page for known issues and troubleshooting:

Please report any problems to emulation@. Thanks!
