Seeing Shell prompt after starting VM from a valid ISO

Post by Will808 »

I am using VB Version 6.1.18 r142142 (Qt5.6.3)
I have created a Mojave installation ISO from a fresh download from Apple store.
I then created a new VM for MacOS and pointing it to reach that new ISO and I am seeing Shell prompt inside the quest VM window without any OS installation actions.
Here is the "Shell Prompt" image:

I am attaching a a zip file which contains the VB log file generated after that happened.
Please kindly help me out.
Thanks!
William

Hi, everyone, I have resolved this problem - it was due to my carelessness by selecting "32 bit MacOS" instead of the "64 bit" choice. Once that is corrected, the Mojave is currently installed.
