Reposted with additions:
I'm slowly working my way through CG Section 2.1, but have reached an impasse. In "Configuring LilyDev
in VirtualBox". Step 1 tells me to "install Guest Addition...". That's been changed to
"Insert..." but that's obvious. The VBoxGuestAdditions.iso CD is in the virtual drive, but it seems
but there's no autorun, and clicking on it merely asks if I want to eject it.
I've now worked out how to mount the CD, and I followed the instructions in the
VirtualBox FAQ page to install the missing bits. But when I try to install the
Guest Additions it says they're already installed. has the LilyDev distro
changed to include the Guest Additions? Because, if so, I can't get the shared
clipboard to work, and that's rather necessary for my setup.

It looks as if there's a step missing, as the CD doesn't seem to be
mounted in the file system, which would explain everything. But I'm
not sure (as a Linux newbie) where to look for it.
You won't need that. The guest additions have been incorporated into
LilyDev.
My patch for the CG will reflect this change.
If you have problems resizing the VM window to full size, try to change
the Display->Graphics controller to VBoxVGA in VirtualBox settings.
You can activate clipboard sharing in General->Advanced->Bidirectional.
