[Please include me in responses; I've set Reply-To appropriately. dhw] I am trying (for the first time) to get VirtualBox to work. And when I select "Start" (using an image from a colleague who has run it successfully), I get a "VirtualBox - Error" pop-up window:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machines
[Vmachine name here]
Failed to loaf VMMRO.r0
(VERR_SUPLIB_SYMLINKS_ARE_NOT_PERMITTED).
Details
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6}
Now, I do make some use of symlinks: I'm running FreeBSD stable/10,
i386. And I am strictly using UFS2 with soft updates (but no
journaling), and I have the system set up to be bootable fromn any of
the 4 slices available via MBR:

(I note I've been setting up FreeeBSD machines this way since ... 1998.)
So: what must I do in order for VirtualBox to actually work?
Thanks!
Peace,
