Unless I'm mistaken QuickInstall doesn't include any drivers for VirtualBox. It might be nice if they were automatically installed if QuickInstall detects it's running under VirtualBox.

Michal Necasek has a Windows 9x display driver available at https://www.os2museum.com/files/boxv9x.img (via https://www.os2museum.com/wp/windows-9x-video-minidriver-hd/ )

There's also a Windows 3.x mouse driver (vbmouse.drv) for VirtualBox that also works in Windows 9x, at https://git.javispedro.com/cgit/vbados.git/about/

Thanks!
