Wish to run an i386 Devuan alpha4 as a guest OS in VirtualBox's
current v5.0.14[1], and under an i386 Linux-distro host.
The Devuan download zone[2] currently lists the four possibilities
for this as
- devuan-jessie-i386-alpha4.box
- devuan-jessie-i386-alpha4.qcow2
- devuan-jessie-i386-alpha4-netboot.iso
- devuan-jessie-i386-alpha4-netboot-auto.iso

The appropriate snippet of the Devuan download zone's README
textfile[3] reads as
"Beware the netinst-auto flavour is preseed to ask no questions.
Virtual machines are qcow2 harddisk images ready to use in Qemu"

>From the above snippet, I would naturally assume that the two
devuan-jessie-i386-alpha4 files ending in "-netboot-auto.iso" and
".qcow2" can be excluded for installation as possible vbox guests.

Thus is devuan-jessie-i386-alpha4.box *the* one to use here for
vbox, and if so, are there additional special hints/instructions
for getting this to work smoothly in vbox (e.g., using one the
appropriate Guest Additions[4] listed at [5]) ??
