Hello Rickard, Thank you for your help.
Now i am able to create the virtualbox image uisng packer. The only mistake which i was doing at my end was that i didn't have preseed.cfg file under http directory. But now i have question, can packer export file as OVA format instead of OVF? Because OVF have 2 files and OVA have single bunch of file. Really appreciated your help. Thanks.
