Ok, gave it a try. The install worked. So, I set up a virtual box per 
instructions, and tried to boot my netbsd CD in it. (netbsd because it's 
small so I can get a quick test.) I get this message (copied from the 
internet as it's the same someone else got):

VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was 
either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. 
Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel, e.g. 
virtualbox-ose-modules-generic..
VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED).

Result Code:

There is a conflict in kernels in the latest Ubuntu Intrepid kernel 
update. Try to rebuild the vbox kernel:

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

So, I "try" it:

====================================================
~> sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
  * Usage: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv {start|stop|restart|status}
~> sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv status
  * VirtualBox kernel module is not loaded.
~> sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv start
  * Starting VirtualBox kernel module vboxdrv 

  * No suitable module for running kernel found.

Oh well.
