the proxmox installer has some odd behaviours. in your case, it seems the country autodection feature did not finish in the wait time that is defined in the packer boot_command. so you have update the wait for boot step timeout to 10m (or more) for example, and see whether it helps.

Assuming I've understood correctly I've change line 407 of 'proxmox-ve.pkr.hcl' boot_wait from 5s to 10m.
Results seems to be the same.

Update:
Tried updating line 410 to wait10m, still same results.

Just changing the boot_command should have been enough. But like you tried, it didn't do the trick.

Before going further with packer. Try to manually create a VM in VirtualBox with the Proxmox iso, and go thru the manual installation, to see if that also happens.

Closing this issue because I no longer use VirtualBox. Support was dropped in b51b7d4.
