I downloaded the 568334.img file as updates.img and placed it into 
/images/updates.img.
When attempting an install via http it ended with bug 568334.
When attempting an install via linux updates=... command it ended with 
bug568334.

If this updates.img file is meant to be a work around for bug 568334 and 
allow F13-Alpha to install on VirtualBox-OSE 3.1.4 then it is not 
complete or I have misused it.
