[SOLVED] install archboot archlinux in virtualbox

I found I could use archboot to install Archlinux 32 on virtualbox under Windows 7 (64bit).

But my ethernet can not work.

It could work under archboot.

But, when I boot my just installed linux, it require manual type following commands to get network work:
  modprobe e1000
  dhcpcd

I've upgrade to linux 3.0. 

/etc/rc.conf

   MODULES=( e1000)

The packages:
  linux 3.0.1-1
  linux-api-headers 2.6.39.1
  linux-headers 3.0.1-1
  virtualbox-archlinux-modules 4.1.0-5

The windows virtualbox 4.1.0 r73009

Boot Messages:
  :: Start Network    [BUSY]
  Cannot find device "eth0"
  :: Starting the VirtualBox Guest Additions [FAIL]
  (Cannot change owner vboxadd:1 for device /dev/vboxguest)

Thanks, after edit the file in /etc/modprobe.d.  It works now.

Check the output of

ls -1 /etc/modprobe.d/
