Can't login when Virtualbox + SLiM: "Failed to execute ..." [solved]

I'm trying to install Arch in Virtualbox.
When I login with SLiM,  "Failed to execute login command" will be shown(may be because I didn't install the window manager, ).

I searched how to solve this problem, but my problem is: I can't go to the terminal!
SLiM run automatically
when I enter "console" or "exit" in SLiM username, will go to a black window(nothing in it, only a cross cursor), and I can do nothing in it.
I tried to use "Ctrl+Alt+F1", it doesn't work because it is under Virtualbox.

So how can I go to the terminal?

It has nothing to do with your problem, but..  how good is your _console_ resolution __after__ you started X sever?

Better use BBCode tags instead of those underlines for enhancement. You find available tags by following the "BBCode" link below the edit window.
