Change hostID of Solaris 10 virtual/guest machine installed by Virtual Box 4.1.12 on Windows-XP host
Trying to set or modify the randomly set hostID of a Solaris 10 virtual/guest machine that I installed on a Windows-XP host machine (using Virtual Box 4.1.12).
I was able to set/modify the hostname of the Solaris 10 virtual/guest machine during installation as well as via the Virtual Box command line interface (e.g., VBoxManage, etc.). However, nothing seems to be able to enable me to set/modify the random 8-hexdigit hostID value of the Solaris 10 virtual machine. I want to be able to execute the 'hostid' command from a terminal window on the Solaris 10 virtual machine and have it display a hostID value that I set.
Is there a way to set/modify the hostID value of a Solaris 10 virtual/guest machine that was installed by Virtual Box 4.1.12 (or potentially by any other virtual machine installation tool) on a Windows XP system ?
