Description (Last modified by frank)

I tried this with a FreeBSD ISO guest image. This error is thrown:

VirtualBox kernel driver cannot be opened.
VBox status code: -1911 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_OPEN_ERROR).
Result Code: 0x80004005
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {d5a1cbda-f5d7-4824-9afe-d640c94c7dcf}

I have already given the raw device access for this zone and (and rebooted), using:

add device
set match=/dev/vboxdrv
end

Is it really having problems communicating to that device OR is there a keyboard problem as mentioned below?

errno 6 is:
#define ENXIO 6 /* No such device or address */
