Hi Cody, I just tried the latest VirtualBox on my Mac OS X system and I was able to use the latest "Guest VM x86-64bit (Video Console):" Install ISO and our instructions, and it all worked as expected.
Your "error zeroing first 1 GB" would imply the VirtualBox virtual drive was not created properly ... Hmmmm not sure how you could have gone wrong there. I like to keep the install ISO and the created VirtualBox files in the same folder. Give it another try.
