Guest additions and OpenSolaris 2009.06

[alanm]

I'm running VirtualBox 2.2.4 on a MacBook Pro.
I'm running an OpenSolaris snv_101b VM. After updating to 2009.06 and booting the new boot environment, OpenSolaris stalls at the command prompt. I've been told that I should update to the latest GuestAdditions.

I tried a simple pkgadd, as follows, but not sure what to make of the message and what my next step should be. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Code: Select all

pfexec pkgadd -d /cdrom/vboxadditions_2.2.4_47978/VBoxSolarisAdditions.pkg 

The following packages are available:
  1  SUNWvboxguest     Sun VirtualBox Guest Additions
                       (i386) 2.2.4,REV=r47978.2009.05.29.19.02

Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process
all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]: all

Processing package instance <SUNWvboxguest> from </media/VBOXADDITIONS_2.2.4_47978/VBoxSolarisAdditions.pkg>

Sun VirtualBox Guest Additions(i386) 2.2.4,REV=r47978.2009.05.29.19.02

Current administration requires that a unique instance of the
<SUNWvboxguest> package be created.  However, the maximum number of
instances of the package which may be supported at one time on the
same system has already been met.

No changes were made to the system.

Before installing the newer guest addition, I needed to remove the older guest addition. I used this command to do that:

Code: Select all

pfexec pkgrm SUNWvboxguest
