According to this, the virtual disc is 8GB with 2 partitions, your root partition on /dev/sda1 and a logical volume on /dev/sda2. How did you generate the virtual disc, and what options did you give virtualbox when you did it. Last question - which version of VBox are you running?
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
