Launch the bootloader manually from the EFI shell every time.This means that in order to boot the system you have the following options: If that first option fails, VirtualBox will then try the EFI shell script startup.nsh from the root of the ESP.
Once the system and the boot loader are installed, VirtualBox will first attempt to run /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI from the ESP.
Installation in EFI mode on VirtualBox < 6.1 Proceed with the installation just as on a regular UEFI system. Starting with VirtualBox 6.1 the issue of forgetting NVRAM contents on shutdown is fixed. To get a specific EFI bitness, set the firmware to efi64 for x86_64 EFI or efi32 for IA32 EFI.Īfter selecting the kernel from the Arch Linux installation media's menu, the media will hang for a minute or two and will continue to boot the kernel normally afterwards. $ VBoxManage modifyvm " Virtual machine name" -firmware efiĮfi will set the firmware for the virtual machine to EFI with the bitness matching the virtual machine's CPU. To enable EFI for a virtual machine using the graphical interface, open the settings of the virtual machine, choose System item from the panel on the left and Motherboard tab from the right panel, and check the checkbox Enable EFI (special OSes only).Īlternatively the same can be accomplished from the command line using VBoxManage: This must be done before installing Arch as guest, changing the option afterwards will result in unbootable machine unless the setting is reverted.

If you want to install Arch Linux in EFI mode inside VirtualBox, you must change the firmware mode for the virtual machine.
