--- Comment #2 from Pieter <pietersnld at users.sourceforge.net> ---
Seems to be since revision 292450 and/or revision 291770 of the freebsd base
system. Noticed the same problem since I updated from 10.1 to 10.3 yesterday.

https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/release/10.3.0/etc/rc.subr?view=log

+++++++++++++++++++++++
MFC r291770: rc.subr: Check for running daemons before a custom start_cmd
is executed.

Currently rc scripts implementing their own start_cmd do not enjoy the
benefits of rc.subr's own check for rc_pid.

This leads to around a third of ports with such a start_cmd not to check for
the process at all and two thirds of ports to re-implement this check
(sometimes wrongly).

---> This patch moves the check for rc_pid to before ${rc_arg}_cmd is executed.
+++++++++++++++++++++++

You can start vboxheadless using faststart after boot. When using fast the
check for a 'pidfile' will be skipped. Dont know what checks will be skipped
also.
