I am running VirtualBox 4.3.6 using OpenIndiana as a host system.

.........................................
# uname -a
SunOS u20m3 5.11 oi_151a7 i86pc i386 i86pc
.........................................

I have a dozen different VM's installed/configured thru the VirtualBox GUI, and 
they all work great.

So today, I am attempting to create an OS/2 1.0 VM using instructions/samples 
from here:

http://www.os2museum.com/wp/?p=2314#more-2314

Following the suggested instructions, once the initial VM is created, a couple 
of customizations are required via the shell prompt via the VBoxManage command.

My first sign of trouble was when I attempted to list out my VM's.  Again, I 
have a dozen VM's, (2) of which are currently running.
.........................................
# VBoxManage list vms
# VBoxManage list --long vms
#
.........................................

Nothing comes back.

No problem, I know the name of my VM, and the specific configuration 
modification I need to give is the "--triplefaultreset on" command.  So I run 
that and get this back.

I try it with, and without quotes around the VM name, based on examples I see 
in 
the VirtualBox documentation PDF.

# VBoxManage modifyvm "OS2-1.0" --triplefaultreset on

#
.........................................

I played around with a couple of additional VBoxManage sub-commands.  For 
example, I can run "VBoxManage list ostypes", but most either return blank, or 
generate a similar error.

any thoughts on this?   I am pretty certain my VM name is correct:

.........................................
# ls -1 "VirtualBox VMs"
Fedora18
FreeBSD 10
FreeBSD 9.1
Mountain Lion2 - don't use me - clone me
Mountain Lion3
NAS4free
OS2-1.0
Solaris 11.1 - dont use me
Solaris 11.1 cacti
tribblix milestone 6
windows7 - dont use me
windows7 - FS IP
windows7 - Glow
windows7-Cisco
windows7-grace
windows7-home
