A floppy image with Drive Fitness Test hangs in VirtualBox 3, while the same iso works fine in Qemu.

Tested with MEMDISK from Syslinux 3.83-pre6.

Adding raw or bigraw doesn't help.

The image hangs with the text:
==========================
loading bootsector.....
loaded...
starting PCDos...
==========================

You can find the gzipped floppy image with Drive Fitness Test at the following link:
