  1. Download the Sun xVM VirtualBox 1.6 binary for Solaris from here
  2. Untar it
  3. You will get 3 files- autoresponse, VirtualBox-1.6.0-SunOS-x86-r30421.pkg, ReadMe.txt
  4. The 'ReadMe.txt' file has got the quickie steps to install VirtualBox
    1. Login as root using the "su" command
    2. Run the command: pkgadd -d VirtualBox-1.6.0-SunOS-x86-r30421.pkg
    3. The installer would then ask you to "Select package(s) you wish to process"- enter "1" or "all"
    4. 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.
