I found it easy to get Internet access on the virtual machine (I downloaded
Texinfo 7.0.1 from ftp.gnu.org using curl), but somehow harder to get
access to local files.

The solution appears to be to install something called the Guest Additions.
However, the instructions that come with VirtualBox are not what you
should follow for OpenIndiana, which involves downloading and mounting
an optical disk image, which doesn't work.

Instead, what you need to do is to install the package from the
OpenIndiana package manager:

# pkg install virtualbox-additions

Then shared folders configured through the VirtualBox GUI are accessible
under /media.
