@gabrielsouto I believe that is a native mac device feature when it is virtualized or on non-mac hardware, it won't work.

Actually, there is a recovery partition. However, it's not that simple to boot from it. What I tested:

Start VM as usual and press CMD+C then you see Trying to find a bootable device...
fs4: > cd TAB > ./boot.efi (note that using fs4 was just a guess
