VBox headless + install by script

Hello everyone. I have a small but irritating problem, which can't found how to mitigate along two weeks.
On headless remote server I use script to create three headless machines for VirtualBox.
Then I must setup RDP one by one for those boxes, click enter until get in archiso shell
and then pull inner deploying script like # scp user@mydesk:~/vbox/arch-install ./
which will setup and configure arch as server/database/filestore.

So, irritating there is RDP plus enter click plus pull and launch script.
How would one do it all completely from script, launched on remote host server?

Re: VBox headless + install by script

Finally I could solve that problem by combining Vbox key emulation and serial port. You can see complete answer at Stackoverflow   .
