I tried loading OSX.6 in VirtualBox, and got back roughly the
following: "VT-x/AMD-V not supported by your bios. OS2 and some other
operating system require....."

So, I tried booting from the DVD and went to grub after a few seconds.
 Then I checked to make sure it was booting the CD-ROM, and guess
what?  It was trying to boot from the CD, but fell back on grub after
a few seconds trying.   So I mounted the CD to take a look at it, and
found that some small amount of DVD showed and  inside there was
bootcamp, some drivers, and a couple of executables, an .inf file, and
a readme.rtf file.  So maybe it boots in windows, or could that be a
server version of OSX?

Anyway, I couldn't get VirtualBox2.3.0Beta2 to run OSX under Ubuntu.
This is a beta version and maybe it just couldn't recognize the Mac
file system, since Ubuntu doesn't either.

I might try it again in the next Beta or in the RCs.
