## <-- this means a comment to you, Devin.
$ <-- this means type something like this into the terminal (withouth the '$')
## we need to confirm that the config file is located where we think it is. According to homeboy's snippet
## it's somewhere beneath VBoxInternal so we'll use cd "change directory" to start there.
## you'll need to use finder to locate where VirtualBox is located. My guess is it's somewhere under
## Applications, so try something like this:
$ cd /Applications
## don't complete this command with return, but instead tap Tab a couple of times and the terminal will show
## you the available directories follow this pattern until you locate VirtualBox.app
## once the command looks something like
$cd /Applications/other/directories/Applications/VirtualBox.app
## or:
$cd /Applications/other/directories/Applications/.VirtualBox
## go ahead and press enter
## then try homeboy's snippet again, but we need to replace the path to that config file
## so we need to open up a file. I'm not sure what your default editor is, but I'm assuming you have vi, so we'll try
$ vi .VirtualBox\Machines\<Machine>\Logs
## where <Machine> = the name of the VM in question.
## you should see a line like "00:00:01.459 [/Devices/ahci/0/LUN#0/AttachedDriver/Config/] (level 6)"
## we're interested in /Devices/ahci/0/LUN#0
## replace that file path in the snippet with your version of the above
## there's a lot of speculation in here, but withough being able to put my hands on
## your keyboard it's the best I can do.
