I would very much appreciate it if you fine, respectable, well-dressed people would upload some VirtualBox VDIs or OVAs with another vintage Linux distro for me to muck around with.

Some ISO of Red Hat:

Make another search for another distro.
Also look on Distrowatch.org if you can find them:

Maybe the hardware of your virtual machine is not compatible ;)

The key was to set the SATA Controller to Bus Logic (SCSI) and select SCSI during the installation (Bus logic adapter). I was able to create the partitions (/ mount point of 920 MB with the Linux native ext2?) and 80 MB for the Swap, on a total of 1GB.
At some point I swapped my Virtualbox keyboard to Soft (virtual) to enter the passwords. I have not created a boot disk maybe it was my error.
I also changed my mouse from PS2 (not detected) to generic.
You should try again with Mandrake 6.1.

I just changed the graphic mode to VBoxVGA,
removed the live CD (I knew that)
ANDDD => unselect the boot order in the settings, to let only Floppy and HD.
With the bug of monitor I was not able to run startx but here is a screen in console mode :)

- Main as Linux native type of 920 MB:
Mount point: /
- Swap as Swap type of 80 MB
No mount point
At the end of installation, copy the boot into Master boot record of the HD, change the order of boot as specified in previous post and normally select a Generic Monitor with default framerate but it worked not for me.
