 You can run !VirtualBox directly from the build target directory (`out/solaris.x86/release/bin/`). But first of all, you must install the !VirtualBox kernel module. There is a script {{{src/VBox/HostDrivers/Support/solaris/mod.sh}}} which does this for you. It requires you to either install sudo or run it as root.
 
+{{{
+cd out/solaris.amd64/release/bin
+}}}
+
+For the other drivers you will need to copy the driver file and .conf file if any into the appropriate locations. Current drivers include vboxflt (bridged networking, host-only networking), vboxnet (host-only networking), vboxusbmon, vboxusb (USB drivers).
+{{{
+/platform/i86pc/kernel/drv/       (32-bit drivers and .conf files)
+/platform/i86pc/kernel/drv/amd64  (64-bit drivers)
+}}}
+
+And then run as root/sudo:
+{{{
+vboxconfig.sh --setupdrivers
+}}}
+
 Finally, you can start one of the frontends, e.g.
 {{{
-cd out/solaris.x86/release/bin
-LD_LIBRARY_PATH=".:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ./VirtualBox
+./VirtualBox
 }}}
-Note that the {{{LD_LIBRARY_PATH=".:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"}}} is required because we have to find our {{{.so}}} files and the output directory is not in the system's library path.
