I am tryingto run Windows under FreeBSD.
When I run:

on 80-RC2 I get this output:
ERROR: failed to create the VirtualBox object!
ERROR: code NS_ERROR_ABORT (0x80004004) - Operation aborted (extended info

Most likely, the VirtualBox COM server is not running or failed to start.
No processes with name VirtualBox are running.
What could be the problem?
Do you have the vboxdrv.ko module loaded?
I'll chime in here because I just de-installed virtualbox so it's fresh
in mind. I had problems when I tried to run virtualbox after loading the
vboxdrvr.ko manually while the machine was running. Maybe it crashed the
machine, can't remember. After rebooting though, with the modules in
/boot/modules/ and the modules having been loaded at boot time things
worked great. So for me it was imperative that the module loaded at boot
and not after the machine was fully up if I wanted virtualbox to run. (I
de-installed because, after running opensolaris a few weeks, the novelty
of virtual machines has worn off.)
