Build Appliance VM can be run using Virtual Box 
(see https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1971)

Side by side comparing BA running using VMplayer and VirtualBox shows some differences, in particular the size of the display. There are some graphic menu items are not displayed correctly using VirtualBox. (see the attachement)
Comment 1 Juro Bystricky 2015-07-30 23:44:23 UTC 
When BA is built with 

MACHINE ?= "genericx86-64"
SDKMACHINE ?= "i686"

then the resulting image size is correct.

Note the Autobuilder settings are 
MACHINE ?= "qemux86-64"
SDKMACHINE ?= "i686"
Comment 2 Juro Bystricky 2017-04-27 15:25:15 UTC 
I am closing this as resolved/notabug for two reasons:

1. There is a way to fix this by using different build setting
2. The problem manifested itself with HOB (GUI). Now that BA only works in text mode (HOB being deprecated), this became a non-issue.
