Sun Microsystems VIRTUALBOX VERSION 3.1.0_BETA2 - Manual (Page 68)

4 Guest Additions
If in case the CD-ROM drive on the guest doesn’t get mounted (observed on
some versions of Solaris 10), execute as root:
svcadm restart volfs
2. Change to the directory where your CD-ROM drive is mounted and execute as
root:
pkgadd -G -d ./VBoxSolarisAdditions.pkg
3. Choose “1” and confirm installation of the guest additions package. After the
installation is complete, re-login to X server on your guest to activate the X11
Guest Additions.
4.5.2 Uninstalling the Solaris Guest Additions
The Solaris Guest Additions can be safely removed by removing the package from the
guest. Open a root terminal session and execute:
pkgrm SUNWvboxguest
4.5.3 Updating the Solaris Guest Additions
The Guest Additions should be updated by first uninstalling the existing Guest Ad-
ditions and then installing the new ones. Attempting to install new Guest Additions
without removing the existing ones is not possible.
4.6 OS/2 Guest Additions
VirtualBox also ships with a set of drivers that improve running OS/2 in a virtual
machine. Due to restrictions of OS/2 itself, this variant of the Guest Additions has a
limited feature set; see chapter
13 , Known limitations , page 237 for details.
The OS/2 Guest Additions are provided on the same ISO CD-ROM as those for the
other platforms. As a result, mount the ISO in OS/2 as described previously. The OS/2
Guest Additions are located in the directory \32bit\OS2.
As we do not provide an automatic installer at this time, please refer to the
readme.txt file in that directory, which describes how to install the OS/2 Guest
Additions manually.
4.7 Folder sharing
Shared folders allow you to access files of your host system from within the guest
system, much like ordinary shares on Windows networks would – except that shared
folders do not need require networking. Shared folders must physically reside on
