When starting the VM in VirtualBox, you need to press f12 during the 
startup, which allows you to select the boot "device". In your case, and 
by default, you are booting from your virtual hard disk, which has 
nothing on it yet.  If you hit f12 in time, the choice for the 
lilybuntu.iso should be clear, and the rest is a normal install from 
there. I run Ubuntu Lucid at the office, in a VM under Win XP, BTW.

HTH,
