Hi Big Mozer, What you are referring to as "missing" is probably a communicator plugin utilizing the serial port as the console. It may be feasible to create a plugin for it, but the demand is probably vanishingly small as most people can easily use the networking options (NAT/Bridged/etc) to manage the VM using a virtual network connection. If Libvirt supports it, I think there is a vagrant plugin to manage libvirt machines, but I wouldn't be surprised if Virtualbox and VMware don't support it, because they have been primarily GUI driven tools, and only been slowly that there have been more "power user" options to manage things via the command line and as headless machines with only networking.
