That is all you need to boot Serenity in VirtualBox! Read on for additional configuration you may want to use.
## Blinking cursor after GRUB menu
If you only see a blinking cursor after selecting an option in the GRUB menu, it is very likely you have encountered one of the errors listed in the [troubleshooting document.](Troubleshooting.md)
- Check that you have enabled PAE/NX in the **Settings** > **System** > **Processor** tab.
- If you are using a 64-bit disk image, check that **Version** is set to **Other/Unknown (64-bit)** instead of **Other/Unknown** in **Settings** > **General**.
## Additional configuration (optional)
For serial debugging, go to **Serial Ports** and enable port 1. Feel free to set the **Port Mode** to anything if you know what you're doing. The recommended mode is **Raw File**. Set **Path/Address** to where you want to store the file. This must also include the file name.
