It doesn't work reliably for me. With ACPI enabled it hangs pretty
early during the boot, and with ACPI disabled it usually hangs later,
non-deterministically: once it got as far as choosing the keyboard
layout during installation. This is Intel's x86_64.

A 32-bit guest (installed earlier with VirtualBox 1.6) works fine.
Well, not worse in 1.6 at least: Intrepid guest requires hardware
virtualization turned on to boot, and has incomplete guest additions.
