I do, as a way of testing my 'odd' ideas at times.

The process generally just works.  Most common problem is that sometimes 
vbox tries to boot the .iso again, so try removing that and floppy from 
the boot options.

Are you using vbox 6.04? A couple of us found minor issues with one of 
the recent minor updates which have now disappeared.


I'm not very patient when trying to fix something as new as a fresh 
install. If it fails, I try again - watching everything I do and I end 
up happy.


Keep trying
