Hello I would like to ask if someone tried to install XOSL Boot manager to Virtual Box. I tried but when I set up a time to wait before selecting default option, it just skips the selection menu and automatically selected Windows XP. Neither disabling automatic selection of default choice in bootmenu of XOSL helps. Do you have some experience with XOSL in VirtualBox?

Thanks for your help.

Is that bootloader installed properly? It sounds as if it did nothing to your MBR of the VM.

Yes it is installed properly. I have installed it many times on host computer without VM. But installing it on VM making troubles :( It just blinks for approx. 100 miliseconds and then boots Win XP, no matters what configuration has been made to bootloader. Maybe if I have chosen making VM for Windows XP, VBox search for active unhidden partition with installed Windwos XP and bypass XOSL bootloader instantly. I looked for solution of this problem on many sites and also in VBox manuals and forum, but no answer and no similar problems :(
