well, you could *try* software emulation, ie Bochs or QEMU inside a
virtualbox vm, but performance will be a DOG.
You need to understand that much of the magic of virtulization is done by
your CPU, at the hardware level, once you are "inside" a VM, all the
hardware presented is *emulated* (actually, virtualized). Thus, a
virtualization software inside a virtual machine won´t be dealing with a
real cpu, but going through the virtualization layer.
So why not run two VMs at the host level? what are you actually trying to
accomplish to run a VM inside a VM?.
