Sorry, for not being clear, I use the VBoxManager clonevdi command to
clone a drive that contains an openSUSE installation.  But, when I try
to use the drive I cloned to boot I have this problem and the error I
reported is thrown.

Thanks for you response,

Josh

Did I understand correctly that by "clone" you mean either converting a 
real disk contents to a VDI/VMDK file or setting up raw disk/partition 
access?

Because from the error messages you get it seems it's an existing 
openSUSE installation, which assumes to be running off a SCSI or SATA 
disk (as the latter also usually appear as SCSI disks). VirtualBox 
currently only provides regular ATA (PATA) support, so the disk device 
names are /dev/hd*, not /dev/sd* as assumed by the installation. You 
usually need to change /etc/fstab to reflect the different devices.
