I've had similar problems on OS X, so I think it's a problem with
VirtualBox, not Vista. I got past initial configuration and
installation, but the system consistently froze when I tried to
compile a new kernel. I switched to QEMU and haven't had any issues
since.
Aside from switching emulators, all I can suggest is to experiment
with different host options and disable any hardware that's not
absolutely necessary during installation.
