Further to previous post:
The hipster release notes tell me that guest additions
is 'integrated' so no need for any other package to be installed,
yes?
It means that OI provides the required package in it's repositories and
you are not expected to install those services from the Guest Additions
CD/ISO.
On the OI window (on VirtualBox) there is a message:
"The VirtualBox Guest Additions do not appear to be available on this
machine, and shared folders cannot be used without them To use
shared folders inside the virtual machine, please install the
Guest..."
What?
What is the VirtualBox version on the host?
What is the system/virtualbox/virtualbox-additions version in the OI guest?
Did you updated (`pkg update -v`) OI after the installation? (You should.)
And what's wrong with the command:
"# mount -F vboxfs <share_name> <mount point>" specified in the
VirtualBox manual?
the response to this is:
"mount: Operation not applicable to FSType vboxfs"
I tested automounted shared folder on OI host/OI guest with
system/virtualbox/virtualbox-additions and it worked. As root I can see
content of the shared folder.

Part way to setting up sharing folder with OI guest on windows10 host.
Message tells me that I need to install guest additions.
Now the VB guest additions CD when mounted has a
VBoxSolarisAdditions pkg file but how to install this? The old
pkgadd command isn't available and pkg requires manipulating
publishers and what not. Is there a package available in the
standard OI repo that installs guest additions? Or if not what is
the recommended way to get this working?
The ultimate aim is to get a sharing folder mounted in OI which is
visible from the Windows host
Thanks for any help and advice.
