Dev + OSS + Virtualbox = not good

I'm very new to opensolaris. Right now I'm trying it in virtualbox. It installs fine but I'm having trouble getting it to play nice with oss.
I downloaded the oss solaris package from 4front's website and I tried installing it on a VM that I had already updated to 'dev', but after rebooting and selecting its entry in grub, the splash screen comes up for a few seconds but then the VM reboots, every time.
After that I had to boot into the original install boot environment (ZFS is great :) ), and again tried installing OSS there, and it worked. Then I once again upgraded to dev, had to remove and then install OSS again, and bam! endless reboot cycle again.
Is there something with the current Dev distribution that makes it incompatible with OSS?
(I need OSS because I want to try out wine in opensolaris)

if you are using opensolaris dev there is no need to install OSS...project boomer was integrated in build 115 of opensolaris: http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+opensound/

Thanks. There was another reply to this thread (although I don't see it here) that says that later versions of wine work fine with boomer. I'll have to compile a more recent version of wine for myself.
How is Boomer's hardware compatibility compared to OSS? Does it support the cmedia 8788 (oxygen) chipset? (Just in case I ever decide I want to switch from Gentoo to OpenSolaris)
I know that with the 2009.06 livecd, it didn't recognize that sound card.

Is there any reason youre compiling wine rather than using IPS? I don't have the IPS repo handy right now but there is an IPS repository that has a fairly recent dev version...can provide later today of you want

I'd rather use IPS, but the only IPS version I know of is the one in contrib, and it's fairly outdated. Also, what about the 8788 chipset? Is there anywhere I can find a list of supported devices?
I guess this means that opensolaris is incompatible with OSS from this point on, unless there is a way to remove boomer (which probably is not recommended at all)

If you need the CMI8788 Open Solaris Boomer driver, I can post it here. It's currently under development since we're in the process of adding ASUS Xonar D2X support. Better yet, email me.
