First find out where it is "broken".
Do an "attended install". Verify that reading from floppy is possible.
That is important. It proofs that the Virtualbox host provides
a "floppy disk controller" and that the Vbox guest has a kernel kernel
for the f.d.c. Also it shows there is /dev/fd0 (IIRC)
Report you findings.
