[Ken Sharp]

Public bug reported:

The BOINC client does not always successfully detect Virtualbox, though
Virtualbox does start successfully each time.

To work around I changed the start sequence of the init script:

# mv 20boinc-client 80boinc-client

It would appear that boinc starts too early in the boot sequence.

$ ls /etc/rc2.d/S*
