Thank you so much for that -- I tried it and it worked.
I know this is OSS and we can't expect 100% dedicated support, but this
is a great project and sometimes, just offering a simple suggestion, in
this case one I did not know about, goes a long way to help. I promote
IPA to the world every chance I get (and with it - RedHat) but the
previous answer of - "Virtualbox sucks" (paraphrasing) does not help
much. Thanks again for your help and suggestion.

Hi,
JFTR, the timeout used during installation can be tuned by creating
/etc/ipa/installer.conf with the desired value:
$ cat /etc/ipa/installer.conf
[global]
startup_timeout=600
