EFI or pcbios

I want to run the following command:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage setextradata "VM-name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiBIOSVendor" "BIOS Vendor"
But the Administrator's guide says "In case your VM is configured to use EFI firmware you need to replace pcbios by efi in the keys."

How do I find out if my VM is configured to use EFI ?

Select the VM in the list. System settings, Motherboard tab, "Enable EFI" checkbox. Checked = EFI BIOS. Unchecked = legacy BIOS.
