VirtualBox: Boots into UEFI Interactive Shell
Found one answer for this issue at: Stuck on UEFI interactive shell with Mac OS X High Sierra VM
However, it did not resolve my issue.
I'm on a macbook pro running macOS Mojave version: 10.14.2 (18C54) Virtual Box version: 5.2.22 r126460 (Qt5.6.3)
On the Virtual Machine, I'm running Windows 10
A section of the answer in the link above describes (my question continues after this section in quotes and after the horizontal line below it)enter image description here:
"I also hit the problem of getting stuck at the UEFI shell prompt when booting from a viable disk (such as my case where MacOS had just been installed in a Virtual Machine).
I was able to fix the UEFI problems as follows (credit to VirtualBox forum):
At UEFI prompt: Type exit
You'll be brought into an EFI text-mode GUI.
Select Boot Maintenance Manager and click.
Select Boot From File and click
You should see two entries in a list (they are cryptic looking PCI bus paths).
The first is the PCI path to a boot partition that isn't working (corrupted or perhaps has no data or OS installed on it).
The 2nd partition is the recovery partition, the one you need to boot from to do the macOS installation or other maintenance/administrative tasks (including accessing Disk Utility to work on the System Volume partition without an OS running).
Click the 2nd entry, you should see (and then click):
macOS Install Data
Then click:
Locked Files
Then (if present), click
Boot Files
And finally click:
boot.efi
At that point he installer boot will continue and you should get to the point where you can attempt to repair the volume or [re]install macOS"
I have tried this up to step: "4. Select Boot From File and click" but, after doing so, the "File Explorer" window is empty.
Any suggestions?
