[OpenIndiana-discuss] VirtualBox

Ah Thanks. I was close.

The Loaded Modules look ok though.

modinfo | grep vbox
200 fffffffff7b645a8    d08 308   1  vboxnet (VirtualBox NetAdp
5.2.22r126257)
202 fffffffff88a6000  55b48 306   1  vboxdrv (VirtualBox HostDrv
5.2.22r12625)
248 fffffffff8aa7000   77e8 307   1  vboxflt (VirtualBox NetDrv
5.2.22r126257)
248 fffffffff8aa7000   77e8   -   1  vboxflt (VirtualBox NetMod
5.2.22r126257)
250 fffffffff8ab6000   48d8 310   1  vboxusbmon (VirtualBox USBMon
5.2.22r126257

Sidenote we have a smf service called
svc:/application/virtualbox/balloonctrl:default which cannot run because
that component does not exist in our install.
