Yes.  It's PIIX3(chipset; ICH9: southbridge not found) / no I/O
APIC / PAE/NX / PIIX3( / 82540EM / USB / no serial bus.

The only thing which comes to my (user-space only) attention is
`igbe: unusable PciCLS: 0, using 8 longs'.  Otherwise anything
looks good to me, except that, whatever i do, we loop hanging
after `init: starting /bin/rc'.

Never set.

 |Extension Pack installed.

 |Most of the other VirtualBox options don't seem to influence things too
