The commands for VirtualBox 3.1 have changed a lot - take a look at this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/vboxheadl...albox-3.1.x-on-a-headless-debian-lenny-server
Hi falko, Thanks for your advice and link. I sorted out the problem already with following steps; $ VBoxManage storagectl "Debian Lenny Server" --name "IDE Controller" --add ide $ VBoxManage modifyvm "Debian Lenny Server" --hda "Debian_Lenny_Server.vdi" $ VBoxManage registerimage dvd /home/satimis/Downloads/debian-504-amd64-netinst.iso Attach this ISO to the virtual machine, so it can boot from it: $ VBoxManage storageattach "Debian Lenny Server" --storagectl "IDE Controller" --port 0 --device 1 --type dvddrive --medium $ VBoxHeadless --startvm "Debian Lenny Server" Code: Select all Expand viewCollapse view Sun VirtualBox Headless Interface 3.1.4 (C) 2008-2010 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
