Re: Why don't use virtualbox to build vagrant virtualbox image?

Sorry, I thought the problem was that you were on OSX and I couldn't use Qemu/kvm. 

If all you want is a packer job that builds boxes for use with VirtualBox on macOS the take a look at chef/bento. They maintain a repo of Packer builds for many of the more popular OSs/hypervisors/etc.
