Need to start Virtual box image on boot

I have an up to date mac osx Mountain lion server with Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager installed.  I have one vm, an Ubuntu 12.04 Server that I need to have launched automatically on boot.

I have looked around online, and read manuals, and I have run into some walls.

Research lead me to vboxmanage startvm <imagename>  When I attempt this command I get
the errors below.  Presumably there are some steps that I need to take to register the vm?  When I have looked around, I cannot find a way that works to register said vm, thus enabling the virtual image to start on boot.

I have also researched other links to other sites with people trying to accomplish the same thing however, I am not the greatest scripter, and am having difficulty knowing where to start , and these threads are years old.
