A good way of eliminating grub from the equation by starting the kernel
with kexec is :-
1) boot the vm from install dvd into rescue system
2) mount /root or if you have a seperate /boot mount that.
3) cd to /boot wherever it is mounted
4) execute kexec -l vmlinuz --initrd=initrd --command-line=root=put your
root device here resume=put your swap device here
5) execute kexec -e
/If grub is part of the problem this will cause your vm to boot and you
may (hopefully) be able to repair grub from a running system.
I haven't ever tried this in vbox but it should work the same as on a
normal machine.
