NetBSD on VirtualBox

What version of NetBSD are you trying to install? I don't think host OS (i.e. Ubuntu) and your hardware have anything to do with it. Especially, if you said that you were able to install other OS's. It's Virtualbox. Another OS you can try is FreeBSD or OpenBSD. They are very closely related to each other.
Sorry, I'm not very big on BSD troubleshooting. I just prefer to use Mac
Try Xen or Vmplayer. Vmplayer (from Vmware) should definitely work. I think you can download some pre-made BSD images/appliances from Vmware site. Virtualbox will also play Vmware vmdk files. Also there is a hack way to make your own images on Vmplayer. But I won't go there yet!

xen-list-images
XEN-LIST-IMAGES(8) Perl Programmers Reference Guide XEN-LIST-IMAGES(8) NAME
xen-list-images - List all the created and configured Xen images. SYNOPSIS
xen-list-image [options] Help Options: --help Show this scripts help information. --manual Read this scripts manual. --version Show the version number and exit. Testing options: --test Specify an alternate Xen configuration directory. OPTIONS
--help Show the scripts help information. --manual Read the manual. --test This flag causes the script to load the Xen configuration files from a different directory than the default of /etc/xen. --version Show the version number and exit. DESCRIPTION
xen-list-images is a simple script which will display all the Xen images which have been created. This works by iterating over all files matching the pattern /etc/xen/*.cfg which is what the xen-create-image script would create. For each instance which has been created we'll display the name, and then either the IP address configured, or "DHCP" to denote a dynamic host. TODO
It should be possible to determine the disk(s) used by the images, and then display their sizes. AUTHORS
