After the 'setup' command, the system is not supposed to reboot itself.
 This is probably an indication that something went wrong.
/var/log/freedombox-setup.log will tell us what happened.  Or perhaps
you have typed reboot.

When the system reboots after the setup command, it will, in the
background, setup many other things as part of the first-boot process.
During this period you may have experienced that the system is not
responding.  You have probably rebooted in the middle of this process.

You will not see much 'FreedomBox' after the whole process is completed.
 You will be able to:

- Login as 'fbx' user with password 'frdm'
- See README file in that user's home with FreedomBox manual.
- Point a browser to the 443 port of the VM and see FreedomBox UI.

For the last part, you need to VirtualBox networking setup properly.

If you are using the default mechanism 'NAT', then you need to add port
forwarding from your host 4443 to guest 443 and use the URL
https://localhost:4443/ in your browser.

If you are using 'Bridged Adapter', you can type the https://<ip address
of FB> and see the web UI.

Please feel free to ask any further questions.  Do let us know how
things went.
