To create a new  centos box you just type

$ vagrant basebox define myCentOsBox CentOS-4.8-i386

It will create this files

definition.rb
postinstall.sh
preseed.cfg

Alter this files and start building the box now with this command

vagrant basebox build 'myCentOsBox'

After its build vallidate the basebox

vagrant basebox validate 'myCentOsBox'

if everything fine export the base box

vagrant basebox export 'myCentOsBox'

Now add it to vagrant offcourse 

vagrant box add 'myCentOsBox' myCentOsBox.box

finally init the vagrant box

vagrant init myCentOsBox
vagrant up
