Jumbo frames are not supported at the moment by VirtualBox. They will get silently dropped, both for transmission and receiving packets. However I have no explanation for the boot hang, except that the same would also happen on a real pc connected to a switch without jumbo frame support.

We've tried to trigger bugs in VirtualBox using jumbo frames, and didn't manage to do so. If you suspect you managed exactly that, please provide more details.
