Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?

I have same error with CoreOS running in VirtualBox:

$ docker-machine create --driver generic --generic-ip-address 192.168.56.106 --generic-ssh-user core coreos01

The problem mays come from: https://github.com/docker/machine/blob/master/libmachine/provision/coreos.go#L80-L81
