Add VirtualBox support to linuxkit run
You can use `linuxkit run vbox ...` to run using Oracle VirtualBox. ISO or raw should be supported, and you can specify EFI. Some more options may be useful in future. Signed-off-by: Justin Cormack <justin.cormack@docker.com>

# LinuxKit with VirtualBox
|
||||
|
||||
LinuxKit can run using Oracle VirtualBox. This should work on OSX, Linux
|
||||
and Windows. The standard install should be sufficient.
|
||||
|
||||
NB: Windows support is not currently working but should be fixed soon.
|
||||
|
||||
## Boot
|
||||
|
||||
The Virtualbox backend currently supports booting from disks or ISOs.
|
||||
It should work with either BIOS (default) or EFI
|
||||
(with `linuxkit run vbox --uefi ...`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Console
|
||||
|
||||
With `linuxkit run vbox` the serial console is redirected to
|
||||
stdio, providing interactive access to the VM.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Disks
|
||||
|
||||
The Virtualbox backend support configuring a persistent disk using the
|
||||
standard `linuxkit` `-disk` syntax. Multiple disks are
|
||||
supported and can be created in `raw` format; other formats that VirtualBox
|
||||
supports can be attached
|
||||
|
||||
## Networking
|
||||
|
||||
You can select the networking mode, which defaults to the standard `nat`, but
|
||||
some networking modes may require additional configuration.
