Hi, many thanks for a great software!
Guest PXE boot install works very fine over HTTP
But I wasn't able to do over NFS ....
Host: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS up to date
kernel 2.6.43-23
virtualbox-2.1.2.1.2-41885_Ubuntu_hardy_amd64.deb
Guest: centOS 5.2
crash over nfs: NAT: Dropping package (couldn't alloc queue item to)
Therefore NFS shares are available after Guest install ...
NFS PXE seems to be not implemented in SUN NAT VirtualBox .....
guest PXE boot

Please upgrade to the new 2.1.4 release, which should have this fixed.

I answered too quickly ..... the NFS PXE Boot works too slowly ....
(NFS is allways faster than all others net protos, and here that's not true ...)
I know, we are talking about virtualised OS but the "emulated net traffic's nfs bandwidth" is really too small, I sniffed the nfs proto over UDP on host's lo 127.0.0.1, a cup of coffee between two acks ...
