The following steps were successful (for me) echo "app-emulation/virtualbox-bin additions dvitool" >> \ /etc/portage/package.use emerge app-emulation/virtualbox-bin # here 1.3.8-r1
create the virtual machine (WinXP in my case) as described and install (here) WinXP SP2 and power off (the VM) after the complete install. ### just examples ......................vvvvv...........vvvvvvvvvvvvvvv vboxmanage sharedfolder add WinXP -name linux -hostpath /MySharedFolder Then start virtualbox again, click on Details CD/DVD-ROM there on Mount CD/DVD Some fiddling about "ISO Image File" leads to add /opt/VirtualBox/additions/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso Then click on "ISO Image File" Now boot the virtual machine. There you find VBoxGuestAdditions as an additional (CD) drive. Click on it to start installing the additional drivers from Virtualbox. Restart Windows and then execute cmd and there ### for my example vvvvv net use x: \\vboxsvr\linux and voila, it seems to work!
