===> virtualbox-modules post-install message:

===> You must load vboxdrv module before starting VirtualBox:
===> # modprobe vboxdrv
===>
===> To load it automatically, add vboxdrv module
===> to the MODULES array in /etc/rc.conf.

===> virtualbox-ose post-install message:

===> In order to run VirtualBox, you have to
===> be in the 'vboxusers' group.
===>
===> You have to start the VirtualBox XPCOM daemon (vboxsvc)
===> before starting one of VirtualBox frontends
===> (but it will be started automatically if you forget to do it yourself).
===>
===> Frontends:
===> virtualbox - Main GUI frontend based on Qt3 (requires 'qt3' and 'sdl')
===> vboxsdl - Simple alternative frontend based on SDL (requires 'sdl')
===> vboxmanage - Command line frontend
===> vboxbfe - Very limited UI that communicates with
===> the VMM directly (without using XPCOM)
===>
===> Other optional dependencies:
===> libgl - for shared OpenGL
===> libxt - for shared clipboard
===> pulseaudio - for PulseAudio support
===>
===> If you want to be able to install guest additions, you have to install
===> 'virtualbox-additions' package.
===>
===> The last user manual is available for download at:
===> http://www.virtualbox.org/download/UserManual.pdf
===>
===> Tickless Linux timer: VirtualBox currently does not work well on Linux
===> kernels with tickless timer support (CONFIG_NO_HZ enabled).
===> We are investigating the problem but in the meantime you should disable
===> the tickless timer by disabling that config option or by adding nohz=off
===> to the Linux kernel command line.

(5/8) installing virtualbox-additions [##################################################################] 100%

===> virtualbox-additions post install message:

===> Redistribution of VBoxGuestAdditions.iso from the binary packages
===> on www.virtualbox.org with Arch Linux has been granted by
===> InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH.
===>
===> By using this package you accept
===> the VirtualBox Personal Use and Evaluation License (PUEL)
===> which can be found here: http://virtualbox.org/wiki/VirtualBox_PUEL
===>
===> If you do not accept this license, you must remove the package immediately.

===> virtualbox-ose-additions-modules post-install message:

===> You may want to load vboxadd and vboxvfs
===>
===> To load them automatically, add them
===> to the MODULES array in /etc/rc.conf.
