To me it seems that you just want to execute two commands after startup but before you login. I am not sure if this will work with Virtual Box but usually you just add a line to /etc/rc.local. But make sure you add your line before exit 0 :)

    It is not recommended to run a virtual machine as root and Virtual Box is not designed to do so. This is why a virtual machine always needs to be started from a user session.



    If you need to run this session after boot you may enable auto-login for a user running your virtual machines as startup application.
