Please note that my article is a bit outdated as it describes the use
of vbox5 (not vbox6) to start an existing Linux installation from
Sculpt. If you strictly followed the instructions, you probably ended up
creating a machine.vbox file instead of a machine.vbox6 file. This
could explain why vbox6 cannot find a machine.vbox6 file.

More up-to-date and beginner friendly instructions can be found in this
article:
https://genodians.org/jschlatow/2022-10-27-fresh-vm-on-sculpt

It describes how to install and boot a Linux VM on Sculpt. I suggest
you first try to reproduce this in order to get familiar with the
basics. Once you have a simple VM up and running you may revisit the
dual boot scenario.
