If you are using KVM instead of Virtualbox you may find the following useful.
Example of running a iso using kvm: kvm -soundhw es1370 -net nic -net user,hostfwd=tcp::4444-:5555 -cdrom buildname.iso
note the networking arguments: this allows "user networking" which doesn't need root access, while still allowing adb connections, by forwarding them on port 4444 of localhost, so to connect you would use: adb connect localhost:4444
to disconnect simply (you'll need to do this after stopping/restarting a VM session): adb disconnect
Its also possible to pass-through usb devices from the host to android guest running in kvm by adding the parameters: -usb -usbdevice host:2.* where in the above example that would pass through all devices on the number 2 usb host bus.
