genode show-and-tell, screencast to help with vbox6 challenges?

I recently got a used ThinkPad just for genode. Over the holiday
break, I managed to follow Schlatow's article[1] far enough to get
dual boot working, but I'm struggling with vbox6. I think I need to
get a better working knowledge of VirtualBox before I try it on genode
again.

Before I forgot it all, I wrote myself some notes[2]. Then I added
some context for a wider audience in preparation for a possible "show
and tell" for my colleagues at Agoric.com:

Toward capabilities all the way down with Genode on a Thinkpad

I'd appreciate any feedback on the item.

One thing I discovered while tinkering was a "Taking a look at
Genode/Sculpt (21.03b)" video on YouTube:

I don't normally use videos to learn stuff, but I'm starting to
realize that it's because the gaps in my knowledge that I'm trying to
fill are typically small enough that when I find a short article on
the topic, I have the relevant background assumed in the article. But
when I first started playing with Genode, I had a LOT to catch up on.
That's why I was hoping for a screencast

The particular YouTube video above[3] only covers material that I'm
already familiar with.

But if anyone could point me at a screencast or video of setting up a
virtual machine, I would very much appreciate it.

Again, I should probably study up on using VirtualBox in general. I'm
sure there are plenty of videos about that. But I suppose it can't
hurt to ask for one about vbox6 on genode :)
