[opensuse] migrating SUSE 9.2 to virtualbox machine

I have a physical server running SUSE 9.2 (which I cannot upgrade), and
I am attempting to move it to a virtual machine using VirtualBox. I
have changed grub and fstab to reflect the new hard drive names (hda
instead of sda).
I can get the virtual machine to boot into single user mode, but it
freezes after a few minutes. If I boot into runlevel 5, I get an
ncurses Yast which says "ACCEPT" and "CANCEL" and shows a big gray box
where the menu choices should be. Choosing "ACCEPT" or "CANCEL" locks
up the virtual machine.
What am I missing? I'm guessing it's a hardware detection problem. I'm
pretty experienced with Linux, but I'm new to SUSE. Any advice would be
greatly appreciated.
