Using openSuSE 10.2 as host I've been trying to install various flavours
of OS/2 as guest in VBox, without success.

With eCS 1.2GA the VBox VM starts OK, finds the CDROM install media, and
begins to boot from it using the default values.  The "diskettes" load
into memory disk and the boot splash shows briefly, followed immediately
by a Trap E.  Alternatively I can start the boot using the "Boot with
menu for own values" option, but I can't find anything obvious in there
that would account for the trap.  I've tried various things in the "own
value" screens, but to no avail - when I continue the boot I still get
the trap E.

With eCS 1.2 Refresh the behaviour is similar, except that instead of
the trap it just stalls at the boot eCS splash screen, with sligthly
corrupted video.

With Warp 4.51 MCP, I get much the same as with eCS 1.2 Refresh.

Before I go any further it would be useful to know if anyone has
succeeded in getting any flavour of OS/2 - eCS installed into the VBox
VM running in Linux (or any other host OS for that matter)???
