-Be sure to use it as IDE harddisk in VirtualBox (default is SATA).
+!!Note ->!! Testing was performed using Proxmox VE 3.1 on bare metal ((you need a 64bit CPU with VT-x or it is really slow!)).  Your mileage may vary testing Proxmox within another VM, for example VMware appears to work for evaluation purposes, but VirtualBox may have issues with the network bridge interface.
