Same issue:

OS X 11.2.3 , Virtual Box 6.1 . I can provide a crash dump if anyone is interested but it is pretty big.

You can work around this on your VirtualBox machine by going to its Settings::Storage and adding your install .iso as IDE Primary Device 0 (deleting the empty one there if necessary), then starting your virtual machine and it should boot into install.
