Thank you puppyluvr,
(for testing)
Please try to use script "start". This script is in iso file (You can find it).
If not (may be I'd missed some thing?).
This is the simple code of start:

[vanchutr]

Please to use "whole" iso file. Don't copy partial (vbox won't run. I don't know why)
Don't use /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv with option setup. If you like to test "/etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv setup" than go on! In this case you must install devx_432.sfs and 432 patch kernel package.
Here is the script rc.vboxdrv:

Howdy,
I also get the same problem.
The 'start' com. not found.
Must I 'change dir' to something from the console?
Thanx.....jw
