Cripes, good catch. I can see how I missed it being one line and not in
the same format as all the other command lines. *sigh* Thanks for the
clue-by-four. ;)
May need full path to VBoxManage to work.
Hrm, not sure, I'm getting the dreaded VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND error. Will
have to twiddle with this tomorrow night.
C:\Program Files\Sun\xVM VirtualBox>VBoxManage.exe internalcommands createrawvmd

Error opening the raw disk: VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
Tried the fakembr package but as I have grub in the MBR of the physical
disk it wouldn't work for me. I eventually used a grub floppy image
mounted at boot time pointing to the menu.lst on the linux partition
which works!
Ha, cute! Will have to remember that. Thanks again.
