+Installing VirtualBox Guest Additions
+=====================================
+
+In order to use VirtualBox guest additions, they have to be build
+first. They may have to be rebuilt each time the time you upgrade to
+a new version of VirtualBox.
+
+Make sure VM is configured with an Optical Drive. 
+
+Please follow these steps to install the VirtualBox Guest Additions on the
+Build Appliance VM:
+
+1.  Boot VM, select root "Terminal" instead of the default "Terminal <2>"
+
+2.  Insert Guest additions CD into VM optical drive:
+    VM menu "Devices"->"Optical Drives"-> Select "VBoxGuestAdditions<version>.iso"
+
+3.  Find your CDROM device. Typically it is /dev/hda for IDE. You can determine
+    the actual name <cdromedev> by viewing the cdrom info:
+
+        # cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info
+
+    Mount the cdrom drive:
+        # mount -t iso9660 <cdromdev> /media/cdrom
+    i.e.:
+        # mount -t iso9660 /dev/hda /media/cdrom
+
+4. Build the additions:
+
+    First, we need to build of some prerequisite utilities.
+    (This is only needed to be done once)
+
+        # cd /lib/modules/<kernel-version>-yocto-standard/build
+        # make scripts
+
+    Now build the guest additions:
+
+        # /media/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run --nox11
+
+    At this point, providing there were no build errors, the guest additions are 
+    built and installed.
+
+5. Check if vbox additions running:
+
+        # /etc/init.d/vboxadd status
+
+    If not running, try manually starting:
+
+        # /etc/init.d/vboxadd start
+
+6. Check if additons actually work, in particular folder sharing.
+
+    Host: Devices->Shared Folders->Shared Folder Settings...
+        Add any host folder and name it (i.e. "images")
+
+    Guest VM: create mount point for the shared folder, i.e.:
+
+        # mkdir ~/my-host
+
+    Mount the shared folder: (Watch out for spelling: it's vboxsf NOT vboxfs)
+
+        # mount -t vboxsf images ~/my-host
+
+    Verify mount, should see the contents of the shared folder:
+
+        # ls ~/my-host
+
+
+
+
+
+

+Running Toaster in VirtualBox
+=============================
+
+Toaster is launched via the command in VM:
+
+    $ source toaster start webport=<IPADDR:PORT>
+
+The interaction with Toaster web server is done via a host internet
+browser.
+The particular steps depend on the actual networking being used
+by the VirtualBox.
+
+
+Bridged Network
+===============
+
+Find out your VM network IP address:
+
+    $ ifconfig
+
+IP address is listed under eth0 inet addr.
+It should be something like:
+   inet addr:192.168.1.18
+
+Launch the Toaster web server in VM:
+
+    $ source toaster start webport=192.168.1.18:8000
+
+Interact with the Toaster web server with your host browser using URL:
+
+    http://192.168.1.18:8000
+
+
+NAT Network
+===========
+Find out your VM network IP address:
+
+    $ ifconfig
+
+IP address is listed under eth0 inet addr.
+For NAT network it should be something like:
+   inet addr:10.0.2.15
+
+When using NAT network, the VM web server can be accessed using
+Port Forwarding.
+
+Using the VirtualBox GUI, navigate to:
+    Settings->Network->Adapter1
+
+You should set:
+    Attached to: NAT
+
+Select "Advanced", click on "Port Forwarding"
+
+This will open a new dialog box "Port Forwarding Rules".
+Create a new rule that looks like this:
+
+| Name  | Protocol | Host IP | Host Port | Guest IP | Guest Port |
++-------+----------+---------+-----------+----------+------------+
+| Rule1 | TCP      |         | 8000      |          |  8000      |
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Now we can launch the Toaster web server in VM:
+
+    $ source toaster start webport=10.0.2.15:8000
+
+Interact with the Toaster web server with your host browser using URL:
+
+    http://127.0.0.1:8000
+
+
+
+
