- Download the Sun xVM VirtualBox 1.6 binary for Solaris from here
- Untar it
- You will get 3 files- autoresponse, VirtualBox-1.6.0-SunOS-x86-r30421.pkg, ReadMe.txt
- The 'ReadMe.txt' file has got the quickie steps to install VirtualBox
- Login as root using the "su" command
- Run the command: pkgadd -d VirtualBox-1.6.0-SunOS-x86-r30421.pkg
- The installer would then ask you to "Select package(s) you wish to process"- enter "1" or "all"
- Then type "y" when asked about continuing with the installation.
Now all the necessary files would be installed on your system

Now type 'VirtualBox' at the terminal:

Sun xVM VirtualBox 1.6 is up and running on OpenSolaris 2008.05.
Is it usable? I shall explore that soon.
