"02:29 < kilobyte> reproduced in virtualbox: lots of I/O errors: ata1.00:
                  failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED"

As I frequently test Reiser4-enabled unstable Debian-Installers on
VirtuaBox 5.0.16 (my latest version), on a frequent basis I come
across similar I/O errors: ata related as well as some other
idiosyncrasies related to unstable nature of my d-i builds. Wait a few
days for the debian-installer component UDEBs to stabilize and work
better together --in harmony-- then try your installation again.
