If you are using virtualbox, you should have root privileges, so maybe you can set up a read/write file system. You can also use the x86 kernel from the downloads page. (As far as I know it works for <= 8 cores) You will have to compile the benchmarks yourself and load them on an image. Just so you know, I had some problems with this because I compiled my benchmarks with kernel version 3, whereas the gem5 kernel is version 2.6, so be careful about that. They might fit on one of the existing images or you can make a new one using gem5img.py. If you aren't set on using x86 it might be easier to use the Alpha Parsec image here: http://www.m5sim.org/PARSEC_benchmarks.
