You can influence the BIOS logo that is displayed when a virtual machine starts
up with a number of settings. Per default, a VirtualBox logo is displayed.
With --bioslogofadein on|off and --bioslogofadeout on|off, you
can determine whether the logo should fade in and out, respectively.
With --bioslogodisplaytime <msec> you can set how long the logo
should be visible, in milliseconds.
With --bioslogoimagepath <imagepath> you can, if you are so inclined,
replace the image that is shown, with your own logo. The image must be an
uncompressed 256 color BMP file.

whether the BIOS allows the user to select a temporary boot device. menuonly
suppresses the message, but the user can still press F12 to select a temporary
boot device.
--boot<1-4> none|floppy|dvd|disk|net: This specifies the boot order
for the virtual machine. There are four "slots", which the VM will try to access
from 1 to 4, and for each of which you can set a device that the VM should
attempt to boot from.
--snapshotfolder default|<path>: This allows you to specify the folder
in which snapshots will be kept for a virtual machine.
