6. Installing guest OS is piece of cake IMO
Here are the screenshot of running Solaris, OpenSolaris and Windows XP as guest OS (vm)
Virtualbox on youtube
Installing Guest Additions for Solaris/OpenSolaris
For optimal performance and user experience don't forget to install the VirtualBox Guest Additions into the vm. Here's how:
Mounting CD/DVD ROM Image
While guest OS is running Click Devices---> Mount CD/DVD-ROM---> CD/DVD-ROM Image---> VBOXGuestAdditions.iso
(a) In the VirtualBoxVM menu choose Devices...Install Guest Additions and you'll see the iso file mounted.
(b) As an administrative user (root) run
pkgadd -d /media/vboxadditions_2.0.2_36486/VBoxSolarisAdditions.pkg
Replace "media" with "cdrom" if image is mounted on /cdrom
