Can't get UEFI shell to recognise \ key.

[martyc1981]

I'm trying to set up a VM of macOS and I have gotten to the UEFI Interactive Shell. I need to input a line to boot into the VM, but it requires a backslash. My keyboard is not a standard layout (Steelseries laptop Gaming keyboard) and the backslash is on a non-standard button. Virtualbox refuses to acknowledge this button no matter what language I set the keyboard to. I can't cut and paste into Guest from the Host because UEFI Shell doesn't support it. I've tried macros and everything else I can think of but nothing works. Any help?

Please provide a VM log file. With the VM fully shut down, right click it in the GUI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (no other file) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.

Here's the log. Thanks.

You are running a macOS guest (aka a Hackintosh) under a Windows 10 host on non-Apple hardware. This is not supported and is also a violation of Apple's End User License Agreement (EULA). More details can be found at: Important notice regarding Mac OS X as Guest.

Had you searched around the forums you would have seen that there is a sticky thread in each forum section explaining the rules and also that there are many similar threads all of which end up in the same state - locked and consigned to oblivion. Yours will be sent the same way the next time a site admin / mod passes by.

One of the site admins will be along shortly to lock this thread.

Done.

Moving to "OSX Guests" from "Using VirtualBox".
