No, the problem is the missing Windows 2003 DDK as the above message 
says. You said in your first mail that you have some windows server 2008 
RC1 WDK installed, that isn't going to work. You need the 2003 DDK, 
preferably the SP1 version.

Check the qemu sources, I believe there is a SB16 device emulation in 
there that you could easily modify to work with VirtualBox.
