The ebuild installs /usr/lib/modules-load.d/virtualbox.conf which causes the modules to be loaded by systemd-modules-load.service. Systemd gives priority to similarly names files in /etc so creating an empty /etc/modules-load.d/virtualbox.conf should prevent them loading, although I'm basing that on the man page rather than actual experience. You could also disable the service if you don't want any non-hotplugged modules loaded at boot. -- Neil Bothwick Cross-country skiing is great in small countries.
