I cannot help about VirtualBox, but you can try other virtualization
methods (such as quemu, bochs) or a real hardware to understand if the
problem is in the *.bin files 

I suspect that the problem is not in the files, but in some
incompatibility with VirtualBox (or of your configuration of
VirtualBox). VirtualBox documentation/googling/forums might help.
