I have left a few comments but I haven't tested it out yet. I'll try to give it a go on Ubuntu it by eow.

can you add .md extension to the file for Markdown rendering and add a link to it from the dev machine setup guide.
Also, we should have a disclaimer at the beginning of the guide that the guide is provided for the convenience of developers, that it may contain out of date information, but that we're very happy to receive contributions to improve it.

this is not required if we're using the devtool below
| [ -d firecracker ] || git clone https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker.git | ||
| cd firecracker |

this looks like too many firecracker folders. My understanding is that the sourcecode is synced at /home/vagrant/firecracker in line 68.
| [ -d firecracker ] || git clone https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker.git | ||
| cd firecracker | ||
| source $HOME/.cargo/env | ||

VirtualBox Guide for Firecracker
Guide to switch from VMWare to VirtualBox.
#1033
Changes
Created guide to switch VM setup from VMware Fusion/Ubuntu to Vagrant and VirtualBox per Issue #1033.
...
Reason
Explore free alternative to current VM solution, VMWare. VirtualBox is GPL-licensed and thus free for commercial use. Vagrant and VirtualBox run identically on Intel-based macOS, Windows, and Linux, ensuring developers and CI systems use the same environment by streamlining the onboarding and maintenance process.
