In /var/log/messages I get the following

when I5:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/vboxgetty -d /dev/ttyI5
is enabled in inittab.

The instructions say that vboxd can only be used with inetd for which reason I 
put the following in /etc/inetd.conf:
vboxd  stream  tcp  nowait  root  /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/vboxd
as per instructions.

I have
vbox version 2.0.0BETA5 (17-NOV-98)
and run RH7.2

I checked this out and tail vboxgetty-ttyI5.log gives

26-Oct 16:04:46 <D> Opening modem port "/dev/ttyI5"...
26-Oct 16:04:46 <F> Can't open modem port "/dev/ttyI5"

after /usr/sbin/vboxgetty -d /dev/ttyI5.

So that what it is. The modem port can't be opened. Then where do we go from 
here?
