I'm not sure the difference between the .hddimg and .hdddirect.
I tried converting a .hddimg to .vdi or .vmdk using the VBoxManage
tool, but that didn't come up - there was a message about (paraphrased)
"waiting for removable media to become ready" and the boot just hung up
However, I do know that .vmdk will boot easily with VirtualBox
Just add this to your local.conf
IMAGE_FSTYPES += " vmdk"
Note: as mentioned in the documentation, you must use += as
IMAGE_FSTYPES_append will not do.
