Hi!
I am trying to install Window XP on iMac VB-4.0.0. I have installed "VirtualBox Extension Pack" and checked File -> Preferences -> Input -> Auto-capture keyboard, however, there seems to be a bug in the VB installation program, namely the codes for Mac's <F#> keys differ from ordinary keyboards, hence one can not move beyond the F8="I accept ..." during installation of Windows XP on Apple in VB 4.0.0.
Is there a fix for this?

Re: Install Window XP on iMac VB-4.0.0 fails
I tried the "command" key with F8 and it didn't work. Do you mean that fn = command? 
I tried it again, just in case the other keys would disturb the key-sequence earlier, and I can confirm that "<command>" + <F8> definitively do not work!
