 Trying to boot build 553 in a VirtualBox environment (testing fix in
 [1]), I see a failure in the activation code (I'm copying this manually):

    /antitheft.py, line 17, in run
    from initutil import activate_fail
    ImportError: cannot import name activate_fail

 which suggests that even if I fix the error it's just going to fail
 anyway, it's just not telling me nicely.

 Any suggestions on how to get past this point while running on a virtual
 machine?  I've tried mapping a USB key into the VirtualBox client with a
 build 553 upgrade/install image, but it didn't do the activation,
 producing the same traceback.

 Almost there, he thinks,
 Mike
