Actually, vboxdrv is a kernel module, so you have to load it. This can be done (as root) with 'modprobe vboxdrv'. If you're going to use VirtualBox on a regular way, a suggest you put vboxdrv in your MODULES array on /etc/rc.conf Below is what I see after I downloaded the Tarball and ran 'makepkg
-s' against it:

Also, when you update your kernel, you're supposed to run the vbox_build_module again. -- Guilherme M. Nogueira "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." - Arthur C. Clarke
