As VBoxManage from VirtualBox OSE as shipped with Debian did not support this switch, I took VBoxManage from the binary personal editon and was able to create the vmdk. Then I bootet it using the VBos OSE. grub starts up just fine within the emulation and begins loading Windows, however, the VM just freezes / crashes shortly afterwards after switching its video mode (window size) once or twice. On the second try, I get Windows' menu to select "safe mode", which unfortunately also does not work. Does this sound as if there's a driver conflict within VirtualBox, or may be something wrong with the vmdk image? Maybe I'll try to backup my existing partition tomorrow and reinstall Windows from scratch starting with VirtualBox as the installation environment...
