Thanks, Josef! I tried the suggested steps, however I still get "FATAL: No bootable medium found!" when starting vbox6. I used the persistent storage and saved the debian archive to "/ahci-1/recall/debian-13.3.0". I configured the vbox6 instance to use "/ahci-1/recall/debian-13.3.0/vm" and I checked that machine.vbox6 and machine.vdi exist in that directory. The logs are identical to the ones from my previous email.
Reading through the thread that you linked, I could not find any iso file in my "/ahci-1/recall/debian-13.3.0/vm". Could this perhaps be the issue? I tried running the tinycore instance and that works fine.

The basic steps to set up a VM from scratch using my Debian pkg are as follows: ❶ “Use” your persistent storage (as the RAM file-system might not be able to accommodate the .vdi after installation as it has a limited maximum size) ❷ Install the 'cnuke → Virtual machines → Debian-13.3.0' pkg (I've updated the pkg to the latest Debian version) ❸ When deploying the Debian pkg select 'recall fs' for 'File system (vm)' ❹ Install any vbox6 pkg ❺ When deploying the vbox6 pkg select the 'vm' directory in the debian directory for 'File system (vm)' manually via the dialog (see [1]). (The 'shared' directory is also manually selected but probably needs to be created beforehand, for example by using the inspect-window or system_shell.) [1] https://genode.discourse.group/t/sculpt-25-10-release-candidates/220/11 That being said, Alex (alex-ab) as well as Johannes (jschlatow) provide some pre-configured VMs that are simpler to deploy and might warrant a look also.
