VirtualBox Support

Hi! It looks like virtualbox support might work after all:

I've seen this post before, and a few others like it. Very few people I've talked to about running OS X in VirtualBox have actually reported success. Some people report success, but using BIOS mode and a handful of hackintosh-like drivers.

I'm not sure I've even ever been able to get it to boot an installer DMG (pre-Mavericks, or a modified bootable Mavericks installer).

Since there are also no guest tools provided for OS X, Vagrant support may be somewhat crippled.

I don't plan on attempting it if it's not officially supported by Oracle, but give it a try and let me know what happens..

@timsutton, I've made some progress on this. I have:

• implemented SATA ISO support for Packer: implement iso_interface setting hashicorp/packer#1200
• pulled in your gist: https://github.com/zigg/osx-vm-templates/commit/f7e624dd97274abcf005ea465e2e7fb5e95649a5 (branch: https://github.com/zigg/osx-vm-templates/tree/feature/virtualbox)

I'm running the build one more time (I had a small problem the first time with detaching the ISO, but that's fixed in the packer pull request now), but this is looking pretty good so far.
