VBox UEFI-booting to wrong EFI file
Posted: 15. Apr 2019, 12:59
I have a VM set to Windows 10 64-bit.
The VM (Vbox 5) has a vmdk disk with a FAT32 partition
The FAT32 partition contains a \System\Library\CoreServices\boot.efi file and a \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI file (both contain grub2).
VBox when set to EFI, always boots to the \System\Library\CoreServices\boot.efi file.
On a real PC (not MAC), it boots to the \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI file. I would have expected it to only boot this file if the OS was set to OS X?
If I rename the \System folder, the VBox boots correctly to the \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI file.
Is this a bug?
