Hi,

I would like to mount a virtualbox shared folder automatically during the start up on one of my gentoo boxes. Since /etc/fstab is usually a good place for this I added following line:

Code:

myfolder    /path/to/mountpoint    vboxsf    defaults    0 0


However this does not work since rc loads the guest-additions module after the mounts being done.

Can anybody help me out with a good solution for this problem?

You could mount it from /etc/local.d/ ... see README in this directory.
