Finally I made it. It work with Sun VirtualBox 3.0.8 on Debian Lenny and
Squeeze host and Debian Squeeze and Sid as guest (don't have any other
guest, can't recall but I think that OpenSolaris work out of the box).

Just boot guest, Ctrl+D (install guest additions) mount iso and choose
VBoxGuestAdditions.iso.
Inside guest VBoxGuestAdditions.iso will mount like a CD. Open CD,
chouse right script (Linux, Win, x86, x64...), cp to desktop, chmod +x
that.script and ./that.script
Before that be sure that you have kernel header for your kernel and
compiler (build-essential in Debian case). Reboot.

If you will have the same problem after that try Ctrl(Houst)+F x2 for
resize the screen.
