Issueing VirtualBox from host command line gets this msg.
Failed to open the x11 display

VBoxHeadless -startvm  "vm name" assumes that there a vb guest
all ready configured which is not my case.

There is no man page for VBoxHeadless command.

How do a configure a vb guest from the host command line?
