|

| 8 | * Important Note:
|
|---|
| 9 | You must boot OpenSolaris in the same instruction set as the VirtualBox install package.
|
|---|
| 10 | This means if you are installing the 64-bit version of VirtualBox you MUST boot in
|
|---|
| 11 | 64-bit mode. This is because the installer will setup the VirtualBox driver.
|
|---|
| 12 |
|
|---|
| 13 | Use the command "isainfo -k" to check what instruction set is currently being used. If
|
|---|
| 14 | the output is "amd64" you have booted in 64-bit mode, otherwise it is 32-bit.
|

|

|

| 17 | After extracting the contents of the tar.gz file perform the following steps:
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | 1. Login as root using the "su" command.
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 | 2. Run the command:
|
|---|
| 22 | pkgadd -d VirtualBox-opensolaris-amd64-1.5.51-r28040-beta1
|
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 | 3. The installer would then ask you to "Select package(s) you wish to process"
|
|---|
| 25 | For this type "1" or "all".
|
|---|
| 26 |
|
|---|
| 27 | 4. Then type "y" when asked about continuing with the installation.
|
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 | Now all the necessary files would be installed on your system.
|
|---|
| 30 | Start VirtualBox by typing "VirtualBox" from a terminal.
