Hi Chris,

did you install the Virtual Box's Expansionpack. Virtual Box is not able
to handle PXE without the Expansionpack
(https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#intro-installing).

http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.0.14/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.0.14-105127.vbox-extpack


Best regards,

Steven
