Automate VBox Guest Launch?

Weaseal · Apr 14, 2012

Does any system exist for automated launching of a VirtualBox guest by a FreeBSD host at boot?

Code:

$ uname -mrs
FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE amd64

Add

Code:

VBoxManage startvm NAME_OF_VM &

to your .xinitrc.

There's also VBoxHeadless.

Sure:

/etc/rc.conf

Code:

vboxnet_enable="YES"
vboxheadless_enable="YES"
vboxheadless_machines="Webserver"
vboxheadless_Webserver_flags="-s Webserver-n -m 54321 -o PASSWORD"

Thanks, this did the trick! (Combined with the awesome phpvirtualbox port).
